Just for fun, what colour am I? :) - Test Results Are In!

My mum is silver bucky and my dad is perlino gone grey (I'm told age can do that to some of us) but what colour (genetically speaking lol) am I? My human mum is hoping perlino w/ silver, NO grey. Do you know or do we have to wait until the test results come back :)

I think the color is ummm pretty...Can I haz?

Filly or colt? I don't see gray but gray would be very hard to see on such a light base. I'm going to go with palomino (I'm assuming neither parent is homozygous for black) but I'm not going to make a guess on either gray or silver.

Lovely foal btw ! If you left it was a few more months we may be able to see the grey as sometimes the horse will actually go darker through the greying process.

Truthfully I don't see the Perlino but if silver is involved that may be why it looks like a cremello.

I'm thinking palomino as well. However I don't know how old he is or if his eyes are blue. If he's more than 10 days old and/or his eyes are blue then I say he's cremello. However if silver is present that could be fooling with us.

I HAVE seen silver buckskins look just like this as foals.

I'm 10 days old today and am definitely double dilute as I have bright blue eyes and pink skin everywhere. My human mum pulled out some of my hair (ouchy!) and is sending it away today so hopefully we will all know soon :)

[quote="critterkeeper"]I vote silver perlino with cremello as my second guess...(you know I just had to change it up...lol) ymwhisle[/quote]

Good Choice CK ;-)

I am still not sure as I have had both a Palomino and a CHESTNUT with bright pink skin and blue eyes. The Chestnut took so long to turn I actually wondered if he was Champagne! Brightest pink set of testicles I have ever seen, and in both cases they took six weeks for their eyes to go grey (never did go brown)

How bizarre RF! I'da been wondering who jumped the fence lol :) I was thinking perlino as opposed to cremello using good ole logic. I figure with both parents being bay based it was more likely, not guaranteed of course but more likely for her to be perlino instead of cremello. I hadn't even thought pally though - hmmm I'm hanging out to get the results back now big time :)

rabbitsfizz Mon, 10/04/2010 - 11:39

No fence jumping, all legal! His skin died down to pumpkin and he was obviously a chestnut of some sort, just did not know what! Since your guy is by a CrCr he has to have Cr but I would not be surprised if he was not CrCr.

Hey What The Thu, 10/14/2010 - 15:52

Ok, well I completely forgot to take a pic of her eyes BUT I just got the test results back this morning. I'm still trying to get my head around this but I *think* she is Cremello carrying Silver, homozygous Agouti and negative for Grey and Sabino lol.

Please feel free to clarify if I have it wrong :)

The internet makes the horse world SO much smaller! I went to a horse and saddlery auction for a look see today (just interested in buying a few bargain things from the saddlery auction). I started to talk to this lady about her silver buckskin colt and she mentioned she had a silver cremello just recently tested. I asked if she'd posted on a horse forum recently and she mentioned Equine Color Info :-D
:lol: It was Hey What The!

Hey What The, now you're mentioned the mare by name (Bubbles), I think she is a mare I've seen advertised (before you bought her perhaps?). Is she around 14-14.2ish hands high and did she come from Bundy way? Not that it matters, I just remember the advertisement of a silver buckskin and a silver bay being advertised.

Hey What The Sat, 10/16/2010 - 15:52

*waves back* they were probably my ads lol - I was considering selling both my silver mares about 6 months ago but ended up keeping them, so glad I did now lol :)

It was so good to meet up (randomly I might ad) with like minded people, hopefully I'll see you around again :)
