The foal is Silver Perlino Tiger Eye - bay + silver + 2x cream + 2x tiger eye.

Both parents are Silver Amber Cream Tiger Eye - bay + silver + champagne + 1x cream + 2x tiger eye.

In this case both parents passed on their single copy of cream and neither passed on champagne, resulting in a double cream foal that does not have champagne. The silver is indicated by the white mane and tail as well as the paler legs on both parents.

Yeah I tried the forum's guides but I think my brain just doesn't suit genetics :oops:
