Buckskin & Champagne?

Post by Valyra »

Hi all,
Please can you advise on what colour this horse is? Sire seems to be Palomino, but I bought the dam with 'Cremello Champagne' entered as her colour. She seems to be a Buckskin base but I'm not sure if she carries Champagne and/or Flaxen or Silver.

Galena Odette


Thanks in advance!

I took a quick look at your mare and her parents and I didn't find any champagne in her direct lines. I did see that there are some really nice black based horses that carry both double cream and silver making them look like chestnuts. The one quick way to know if their champagne is if they have freckles all around their nose and eyes.

Galena Odette is a Silver Dunskin with Tiger Eyes (Ee + Aa + Zz + Crcr + Dd + TgTg)

Sire Mayhem of My Heart is a Dunalino with Tiger Eyes (ee + A? + Crcr + D? + TgTg)

Dam Galena Odessa is actually a black based horse with double cream and silver or Silver Smoky Cream (E? + aa + Zz + CrCr + Tgtg)

Thank you so much!

I can see on the horse pages that it says "Genetic testing coming soon!". Is this still the case and, if so, do we have any idea when?

Genetic testing was the next thing we were going to add, but we decided to update the horse artwork so we could add more genes first. So it is coming and it's high on the list but it will take some time. πŸ™‚
