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 ...
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]

In 1986, the Rocky Mountain Horse Association was created to increase population numbers and promote the breed; [1] there were only 26 horses in the first batch of registrations. Since then, the association has, over the life of the registry, registered over 25000 horses as of 2015, and the breed has spread to 47 states and 11 countries. [ 4 ]
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.
It is related to other northern breeds, including the Icelandic horse and the Faroe pony. [6] The Eriskay takes its name from the island of Eriskay in the Outer Hebrides . Originally, the breed had a fairly large population, [ 6 ] and until the mid-19th century the Eriskay and similar ponies were found throughout the western islands of Scotland.
