Re: Buckskin without Dark legs.
[quote="lipigirl"]I agree with CC, this horse is stunning and I don't see why it can't be wild bay related.[/quote]
It could be, and it may be, however what little black there is does go all the way up to the normal area and given he's only 2, it's much more likely he's just not gotten his full points yet.
Re: Buckskin without Dark legs.
CC, perhaps it is just the photo, but he has no black at all on his legs, definitely some darker areas but not black, but also some very pale areas as well.
He is actually 3 in September, & while I don't profess to be any expert at all on wild bay or any other type of bay, as I said earlier I have bred numerous
buckskin foals & he is the only one I have ever had like this.
But then again, someone also posted earlier that some of theirs have taken 4-5 years to darken in the legs.
So yes, just a waiting game.
Re: Buckskin without Dark legs.
I am curious about the legs darkening on the Buckskins - I am still only a new student to the whole colour genetics so I am fascinated by that as I have a miniature buckskin colt (now 2) and he has black on his leg but its low on his legs and then fades up if you know what I mean and I actually wondered if maybe he had some kind of roaning going on.

Excuse the small size but this was taken about 2 wks ago. I will try to get some better pics but do you think he might have some sort of roaning going on and do you think his legs might darken (I hope so :D )

Inverted v's are a trait of Classic Roan:

Re: Buckskin without Dark legs.
You learn something everyday, I never knew that about the black legs :flower
So what about this stallion, Weston Challenge.

[color=#8000BF][b]Interesting!! I never knew that.[/b][/color]
Re: Buckskin without Dark legs.
I don't think he looks like it...s'pose you'll tell me he is? lol
The inverted v's are not just for black legs- it's usually seen on any base colour of a Classic Roan and mostly on the front legs.
Banner- I don't know if your colt will get higher black on his front legs-time will tell.
Re: Buckskin without Dark legs.
LOL, yep. He is as roan as they come. Produced plenty of roans, out of mares where classic roan is not a possibility!!!!
Just when he is losing his winter coat, he gets a sort of whitish look about his body for a short time, but other
than than that, golden buckskin.
Re: Buckskin without Dark legs.
This is similar to a "wild bay" and I suspect with age this horses legs will get darker. They often do.
