Champagne is a dominant trait, based on a mutation in the SLC36A1 gene. [1] A horse with either one or two champagne genes will show the effects of the gene equally. However, if a horse is homozygous for a dominant gene, it will always pass the gene on to all of its offspring, while if the horse is heterozygous for the gene, the offspring will not always inherit the color.
Horses with a gray gene can be born any color and their hair coat will lighten and change with age. Most wild equids are dun, as were many horses and asses before domestication of the horse . Some were non-dun with primitive markings , and non-dun 1 is one of the oldest coat color mutations, and has been found in remains from 42,700 years ago ...
Steel Grey/Iron Grey: A grey horse with intermingled black and white hairs. This color occurs in a horse born black, or in some cases, dark bay, and slowly lightens as the horse ages. Rose Grey: A grey horse with a reddish or pinkish tinge to its coat. This color occurs in a horse born bay or chestnut and slowly lightens as the horse ages.
Double-cream champagne: any blue-eyed cream horse that also carries the champagne gene. The champagne traits are, in the few known individuals, not visible. The skin is quite pink. Amber cream or buckskin champagne: a bay-based coat with one cream allele and at least one champagne allele. The skin and eyes have champagne traits such as skin ...

Some coat colors partially distinguished by unique patterning include: Bay: A horse coat color that features black point coloration on a red base coat. All bay horses have a black mane, tail and legs (except where overlain by white markings), caused by the presence of the agouti gene. Most have black hairs along the edges of their ears and on ...

The Champagne gene, which on a bay base produces Amber Champagne. A dilution gene that produces what looks like point coloration, but from a completely different genetic mechanism is the dominant Dun gene , which dilutes the color of the body coat but not the points, including primitive markings —a dorsal stripe down the back and, less often ...
