A few horses

Post by bumblebee »

-- I thought this mare was just perlino http://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/41562 but she threw a dun foal w/ a non-dun sire linked below. Does anyone else see the faint dorsal stripe/agree that she'd be perlino dun?

All of the others have the above horse as a dam and this one as a sire (black-based champagne w/ tiger eye - think he has to be carrying cream or pearl?) http://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/21510

-- http://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/50309 classic cream or amber cream? guessing amber b/c of the legs?
-- http://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/48276 sooty perlino champagne w/ tiger eye?

and an unrelated horse -
-- http://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/50308 dun? double pearl? so lost with these dilutions

any help is appreciated!

I agree Mica is a dun perlino. I see a faint dorsal stripe.

Nafarius looks to be a sable champagne (brown, At), but he could be a dark amber champagne (bay, A) though. He definitely has one copy of the tiger eye gene (Tt). With one copy and champagne, a horse has tiger eye. Two copies on any color equals tiger eye otherwise. I don't think he is cream, but he could carry pearl...there's no way to know unless you breed him to a pearl mare though since it's a hidden recessive.

Next horse appears to be amber cream.
Second foal is a curiosity. Seems to be sooty, yes. If I had to guess, she's an amber cream dun with one copy tiger eye (Tt). Triple dilute!

As for the last horse, I'm thinking a darker amber dun.

Thanks for the help!
That second foal is def a conundrum - she definitely has bay base + champagne + cream. I think you're right that Nafarius doesn't have cream, but I wonder if he does have pearl, which would explain her mane/tail color and the similar appearance to a perlino champagne..
