Sooty buckskin warmbloods

[Forestfreedom]

Hi, does anyone know if Dutch warmbloods can be sooty buckskin.? I have seen bays, chestnuts, greys, black and palaminos, but never heavily sooty buckskins. Does anyone have any pictures of warmbloods that are sooty buckskins?

Many thanks

Yes they can be.
e.g. this mare is https://www.solaris-sport-horses.co.uk/kharisma.shtml
and this stallion called Multicolour (I think?) is sooty buckskin tobiano. Think he's actually reg. British WB but lots of Dutch in his pedigree.

(Sorry, I don't actually know all that much about warmbloods lol!)
* Not my picture or my horses!

Ah, okay. Thank you ! I wish there were more or at least a few sooty buckskin warmblood in competitions, I have never seen one in showjumping or dressage or cross country before

I saw one in an ad last year. I think that it was a Belgian warmblood.

Mines got Dutch back in his pedigree but is mostly Oldenburg, he's a light buckskin but has black sooty bits in his undercoat etc?

We have one competing around here it is a Multicolor offspring

Yes of course they can. Warmbloods essentially native horses which were bred and improved with spanish and barbs which carry this gene. In the old books, the dutch horses bred this way were most sought after for stamina and finesse, which the other warmbloods seemed to lack in the day. The thoroughbred (described as a warmblood in Francois Robichon's de la Gueriniere's book) was the ultimate horse.

It's not implausible to assume a rare gene will pop out at some point.

If you look at the PRE registry in modern times, you can see breeders all of a sudden embracing colours other than the traditional grey black and bay.

I worked for a lady that bred dressage warmblood horses and one of her fillies was a sooty buckskin she was really lovely, I know her mum was dark bay no idea who the sire was, she did have a chestnut warmblood stallion but I don't think she was one of his offspring.

Chestnut * bay couldn't produce a buckskin, one of the parents would have to be cream dilute

That's true so he can't be the sire I didn't think he was but then she did often use other stallions.

Well... recently a few “couldn’t possibly”’s have been proven completely possible...

Never underestimate a dilute gene!

Where palomino exists, so can buckskin.

The cream diluting gene acts on chestnut to produce palomino, and on bay to produce buckskin.

Sooty is a separate gene.
