Hello all,
Can someone explain the buckskin (not dun) gene to me?
I used to have palomino, so did a lot of research into dilutes/double dilutes/how they affect different base colours, etc ..
But a friend has just bought a buckskin mare, and we were talking about the genetics of the colour. I know the buckskin gene isn't a dilute, so is it a simple coat modifier, such as the agouti turning a black into bay? Does it only work on a black/bay base? What happens if the horse is chestnut and has the buckskin gene? Is it dominant?
Please keep it simple for a numpty
Thank you.
Cadburys mini rolls are available, although they're left over from Halloween so might be a bit stale ...
