What color is this horse? I am thinking about buying him and I want to know what color he is.Somebody help me please because I have no idea at all! I tried to post a picture and I think it worked. To me he is a palomino/paint/bucksin Missouri Foxtrotter.

:-? Yep, I'd say buckskin tobi by phenotype, but then you never know for sure without testing...DNA does not lie :grin:

I don't think there would be any reason to test as I'm assuming the horse is a gelding?

He's a Buckskin Tobiano. A buckskin is a bay horse with a single cream gene and tobiano is the white pattern. The white that your seeing in the mane and tail is caused by the white pattern. If you'd like to know more about the color you can read up on buckskin here http://equine.colorgenetics.info/conten… It's under the cream dilution. If you'd like to read a bit about tobiano its can be found here http://equine.colorgenetics.info/conten…

Hope that helps a bit
