Is this a buckskin?

Post by regz46 »

Hi all,

New player here. Can any colour experts here, confirm if my colt is a Buckskin? Thanks a bunch!

Dunskin is a buckskin with the dun gene. This mare is a true buckskin. If you compare her with your boy you can see that she is a uniform deep gold all over where your boy is slightly lighter on his body and darker on his head and legs. While it's hard to see, your boy also has a dorsal stripe (and possibly very faint leg bars, it's hard to tell).

Here's a picture of the mare when she was younger for a better idea of a true buckskin.
