Snoweye

This one is indeed a Classic Cream (E/?, Ch/ch, Cr/cr: one copie of the cream gene and one copie of the Champagne gene on black). He also has one copie of the tiger eye gene, the varnish roan gene, a blanket and snowflakes.
________
Mousespot

So this one is an Amber Cream (E/e, A/a, Ch/ch, Cr/cr: one copie of the cream gene, one copie of the Champagne gene, one copie of the agouti gene on black, keep in mind that the horse is not black but bay. The agouti gene was inherited from the sire) He also has the varnish roan gene, one copie of the tiger eye gene, snowflakes, an extended blanket, feathering and the metallic sheen gene)
________
Lighttail

So Lighttail is a Silver Smocky Brown (E/?, At/at, Cr/cr, Z/z: one copie of the cream gene, one copie of the Champagne gene and one copie of the agouti gene, the qualifier At, on black, the horse is brown not black.)
________
Spothair

Silver Classic Cream (E/e, Ch/ch, Cr/cr, Z/z: one copie of the cream gene, one copie of the silver gene, one copie of the Champagne gene on black). He also has one copie of the tiger eye gene, the tobiano gene -two front legs-, a blanket and snowflakes.
________
Whitetail

WWhitetail is a Gold Cream (e/e, Ch/ch, Cr/cr: one copie of the cream gene and one copie of the Champagne gene on Chestnut) He also carries the grey gene and one copie of the tiger eye gene. I can't be sure on wether or not he has the varnish roan gene, once he ages we will be able to tell.
________
Sunwing

Sunwing is an Amber Cream (E/e, A/a, Ch/?, Cr/cr: one copie of the agouti gene, one copie of the cream gene and on copie of the Champagne gene on black, the horse is bay not black). He also appears to have the metallic sheen gene and one copie of the tiger eye gene.
________
Kinkshadow

He is a Classic Champagne (E/?, Ch/ch: one copie of the Champagne gene on black). He also has 2 copies of the tiger eye gene.

You said (for Mousespot) that he inherited his agouti from his dam. But if his dam was a Smokey silver Champagne, then would she just be carrying agouti, or would she actually be a base that has agouti but hiding it?

Sorry I didn't get the notification that you replied! :oops:

My bad, I meant to say that he got the agouti from his sire :lol: oops!

The agouti is not visible on Chestnut so it can pass down through generations without being noticed :mrgreen: If a black based horse has the agouti gene it will always be visible!

Hope I explained everything! Again sorry for confusing you!
