What about this one?

http://fhotd64476.yuku.com/topic/30217?page=1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Lots of color fhotd forum this week. I really dont think she's champagne. All the champagne horses I've seen pictures of and met in person had a lot darker skin around their eyes and mouths. I don't think she's dun either. I think she's just a plain ole perlino.

Really?

I don't see it. When you compare her to that morgan stallion. I just don't think she's DUN. He has leg barring in his closeups and GC says she has NO leg barring at all, no shoulder bars. Just the stripe. So what makes her any different from a buckskin or bay with counter shading? Or Lacy lol

*I'm sure Rabbit will come one here and post her man with his only stripe flaxen chestnut looking stud lol, but in AQHA, I've never seen a dun without the "dun characteristics". Just doesn't happen really.*

You have to realize how much homozygous cream dilutes dun factor. Yes the Morgan stallion is VERY obvious, but he's also VERY rare. I've seen perlinos with barely any visible factor at all (you REALLY have to look, and wet them down) proven dun. It's actually more rare to see dun factor than it is to not see it. That is a very dark and very defined dorsal for a homozygous cream and I'm 100% sure it's real dun. Countershading is really just not something that's visible on double dilutes.

I can see NO point in arguing about this colur...the ONLY way to tell what a CrCr animal is, is to test it!!
How many times do we have to have this discussion??
You [i]cannot[/i]tell what a cream horse is by looking at it, they all mimic one another.
For crying out loud the test is $25.00

Well if you really think it's impossible to tell, I'll pay for the mares test and 100% guarantee you she is perlino. It is that obvious.

You could guess right, no problem.
It is still a guess.
There is NO way to tell for sure without testing, I have seen a number of CrCr animals now that are called Cremello, and could be Perlino and vice versa, from the way they look they could be anything!!!

While I agree it can be difficult or impossible to tell the DDs apart, I do REALLY believe this one is perlino. Very possibly with dun as well ;)
