Is he a Champagne?

Post by pianogirl4347 »

Just bought this gorgeous boy and I think he is carrying the champagne gene, but want to make sure. Can someone tell me what color he is?

He is Brown Dun Roan with Tiger Eye

Champagne creates an entirely different body colour, but the best idea is to look for freckled muzzle.
That's a dead giveaway of Champagne. Take this guys as an example:

I can see the Roan and Tiger eye but where do you see Dun?

Zoom in on his back and you can see a faint dorsal stripe. He also has a "face mask" and is slightly diluted beneath the eye. It's almost always difficult to spot Dun on Dun + Roan horses, especially if they don't show leg barring :)
