It's not Double Cream because Double creams have pink muzzle, NO freckles on muzzle, and dark brown eyes.
It looks to me that this horse might be some kind of perlino. You can see that because he has a pink muzzle with brown at the edges, pink and brown around the eyes, as well as the color that you see on him.
I think he is just a Perlino. Double Cream on bay/wild bay.
hope this helped!
*It may also hide some Buckskin Pearl on it, but I doubt it.

Re: Puzzling coat color
This horse is double cream. Double creams (and doubles pearls for that matter) are able to have freckles if they are affected by champagne. But this horse is not. The brown on the muzzle is caused because the horse is bay-based. Double creams also will not have dark brown eyes, their eyes will be blue of varying shades. This particular horse is affected by tiger eye, as evidenced by the vibrant green color. (Also, just a note that the base color is regular bay and not wild bay. Wild bay does not have the high dark stockings.)FlipFreak wrote:Thanks!Sawd10 wrote: That's very puzzling..

But just double cream on bay would not cause the bright silver mane and tail of this horse. This horse is in fact a Silver Perlino with Tiger Eye. (Bay + 2xCream + Silver + 2xTiger Eye)
