It's true the adult Buckeroo babies hide Silver very well but if you look at pictures of the man himself as a baby, he has the usual Silver characteristics, and so do most of his babies as babies, so I would say, no Silver for this one, but it would be worth having her checked.
How is she bred?

shes a sweetie !!!no silver just buckskin for me too , Ive only seen black and white pics of buckaroo as a foal , where can I see one in colour ???
while on the subject of Buckaroo ... his sire is reg as sorrel and his dam as palomino which obviously is not possible , so is the "sorrel" considered to be a silver bay wrongly registered/identified ?

Buckeroos sire, Poplar Lanes Sampson was Silver Black, or possibly Silver Bay, not 100% sure on that as I have only seen B&W pictures, I am leaning to Silver Bay as it is possible for him to have come out Silver Buckskin with a Palomino dam (that bit is right, his dam is US Shettie and I am assuming his sire was as well, but the mini people did not like that, for some reason? Dam was also pretty darn big....38" was the estimate I heard!) but the simplest answer is for sire to have been Silver Bay, dam Palomino.
