Ok I know he's champagne. I think amber? What do you think about silver or cream?

I've always liked the sire he's one of the prettiest mini Champers I've ever seen, and yes I agree Amber but as to the silver - who knows are you going to test ?

CheyAut Tue, 03/01/2011 - 11:14

Yes, sent off hair today ;) Testing silver, agouti and cream. I know he's Ee and Chn. I will post the results when I get them :)

I don't see cream at all. I don't really see silver either. Most of the ambers I've seen without silver have that washed out looking mane and tail. Very few are even close to black.

My guess is also no on silver and cream. My classic silver mare is much lighter (of course she's also appy lol). But I figured I'd test. To be sure, to satisfy my curiosity :)

I'm trying to figure out champagnes... so those of you who think classic, why? Those who think amber, why?

I have no clue about the classic as the horse has a clear orangey tone and visible points and looks nothing like other classics I've seen. *shrugs*
