Before domestication, horses are thought to have had these coat colors. [1] Equine coat color genetics determine a horse's coat color. Many colors are possible, but all variations are produced by changes in only a few genes. Bay is the most common color of horse, [2] followed by black and chestnut.
Buckskin horses have a black mane and tail, but instead of a red or brown coat, they have a cream or gold coat. Though once called a "Sandy" bay in older texts on horse color, the genetic distinction created by the cream gene is significant. They are a bay horse that is also heterozygous for the dominant creme (CCr) allele. The black pigment ...
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 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 ...

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 ...
[4] The ideal coat color for the breed is a medium cream with pink skin, amber eyes and a white mane and tail. [5] The characteristic cream color of the breed is produced by the champagne gene. [3] Recognized colors include light, medium and dark cream, with amber or hazel eyes. [1]
