Cream gene. The action of the cream gene on a chestnut base coat produces palomino. Rosy pink skin and pale blue eyes are characteristics of cremellos, or "double-dilute" chestnuts. The cream gene is responsible for a number of horse coat colors. Horses that have the cream gene in addition to a base coat color that is chestnut will become ...
Equine vision. The equine eye is one of the largest of any land mammal. [1] Its visual abilities are directly related to the animal's behavior; for example, it is active during both day and night, and it is a prey animal.

Most horses have brown eyes with minor shade variations. Blue eyes are linked to the splashed white spotting allele, and cream dilution may produce a bluish-green eye color. The champagne and pearl genes also produce lightened eye colors in the blue or green shades. The leopard complex produces a white sclera around an otherwise dark eye.

The most distinctive traits of horses with the champagne gene are the hazel eyes and pinkish, freckled skin, which are bright blue and bright pink at birth, respectively. The coat color is also affected: any hairs that would have been red are gold ...

The palomino color derived from the inter-breeding of Spanish horses with those from the United States. [1] Genetically, the palomino color is created by a single allele of a dilution gene ...
