Buckskin's

[cruiseline]

The coat around the muzzle and eyes has buckskin coloration to it, a true smokey black wouldn't have that.

Depends on when the pictures were taken

Check out my pictures of Nightlight last September. She is VERY sooty buckskin around her whole face and if I took a picture of her today, she would look straight buckskin with not a hint of being smoky black anywhere. Until her fall / winter coat comes in once again

In Photo no. 3 February, so full winter coat, he still has buckskin coloration around his muzzle and eyes.

Fairly sure this is purely down to sun bleaching but thought i'd share a couple pics taken tonight of his gorgeous ears!!

Don't know if anyone mentioned this or not, but perhaps the horse carries the Rabicano gene (c o o n tail).
Just sayin'

Just to let you know that Taz' full testing came back as EEAanCr
Not bay, not liver chestnut and not brown!
Geneticist was most displeased when he found out he was a gelding as he was very excited about his posibillities!

and here are Law's boys parents

and

I always had faith he carried the dilute gene

ETA can't call this advertising as the stallion has had the snip and the mare is now 21yos and not being put in foal again (shame on both counts )

 

[ester]

what colour is he then law? smokey black?

 

[cruiseline]

EEAa nCr would indicate that he was a bay based buckskin

Lol thats what I was just about to say ha ha!

I don't think Law minds as long as people stop calling him liver chestnut, bay or brown lol!

He is certainly not a chestnut of any description as he does not carry any of the red factor genes. He is basically homozygous black, but does carry the 'A' factor that gives a bay its black points, so he is a buckskin, just a darker version. He is also very smart too

I think it was a thread in Comp Riders where someone said he was liver chestnut lol! It did make me laugh when thay said it
I've always said he was buckskin

That is a gorgeous mare, what a pitty she isn't having any more foals.

I was tempted as she is fit and healthy and no reason why she shouldn't go back infoal but I have a few too many mares atm
