Thank you for such a great video! Any thoughts on the albino horses? I was told as a youngster that cremellos had brown eyes while albinos have blue eyes. Ive only seen one cremello (with brown eyes) and a few albinos with blue eyes. One particular albino I will always remember as he was a standard bred in NZ and a most outstanding horse. I dont know much about horse colour genetics but I do have a recessive gene registered border collie who's colour is lilac - he is a clay'ish colour but sometimes looks more grey/blue but has a pink lips, nose and foot pads.
The difference in basis for such horses: - The Isabella coat is characterized by light cream, sometimes almost white, coat color, pinkish skin and blue, less often green or amber eyes. Foals of this color are born snow-white, with pink skin. While other horses have grayish skin, in Isabella horses it remains pink throughout their lives. Isabelle color is determined by two dominant genes Сr/Сr (cremello), which also code for solo and bulano colors. Isabel foals are born milky or cream in appearance, with pink skin, light hoof horn and blue eyes. - A cremello horse has a chestnut base with two cream genes, known as double diluted. The cremello color is closely related to perlino. The main difference is the base color is bay in perlinos, instead of chestnut. Cremello is a horse that is “red based” meaning that it’s coat would be Chestnut/Sorrel, but because it has two copies of the “Cream” gene the pigments are highly diluted. Two copies of Cream turns a Chestnut/Sorrel into a Cremello, a bay into a Pearlino, and a Black into a Smokey Black. ☺
Beautiful horses 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you 🤗
