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.
The Camarillo White Horse is known for its pure white color, which includes pink skin under the white hair coat. Unlike a gray horse that is born dark and lightens as it gets older, Camarillo White horses are white from birth and remain white throughout their lives. The breed is not only a color breed. It has other distinctive physical ...
The champagne gene produces diluted color, and the gold champagne body color, light skin, light eyes, and ivory mane and tail associated with the American Cream Draft are produced by the action of the champagne gene on a chestnut base coat. [6] [7] In the adult horse, the skin is pink with abundant dark freckles or mottling, [8] and the eyes ...

It is a somewhat rare dilution gene found in the American Quarter Horse, American Paint Horse, and Peruvian Paso. [2] [3] The same mutation appears in Iberian horse breeds such as the Lusitano and Andalusian. The existence of the pearl gene in Quarter Horses and Paints is probably because these breeds have some Iberian ancestors. [2]
This Thoroughbred stallion (W2/+) has one form of dominant white.His skin, hooves, and coat lack pigment cells, giving him a pink-skinned white coat. Dominant white (W) [1] [2] is a group of genetically related coat color alleles on the KIT gene of the horse, best known for producing an all-white coat, but also able to produce various forms of white spotting, as well as bold white markings.
In the early years of the breeding programme grey – in all its shades – was the preferred coat colour. [3]: 60 Under the 2015 breed standard, the horses may be of any solid colour; patterned coats – such as spotted, skewbald or piebald – are disallowed, as are blue eyes and de-pigmented skin. [6] The horses commonly have five gaits.
Buckskin is a colour of horse (sometimes misunderstood as a breed). Buckskins coloring is a hair coat color referring to a color that resembles certain shades of tanned deerskin. Similar colors in some breeds of dogs are also called buckskin. The horse has a tan or gold colored coat with black points (mane, tail, and lower legs). Buckskin ...
