	Coat Color Genetics
		This means that one Cr gene dilutes the color of the horse, while two Cr genes dilute it further.
		A grey horse turned white will still have the normal skin and eye color, unless there are other modifying genes, such as Champagne or double Cream dilutes.
		This gives the body of the horse a lightened appearance, while the head and legs remain the original color.

	Coat Color Genetics
		A scheme of coat color classification based on recognition of the effects of the alleles of seven genes provides the necessary rigor, and with training can be uniformly applied by anyone to define most of the common colors encountered in horses.
		Defining the coat color of a horse is a stepwise process.
		For homozygous recessive colors, both alleles are written in the notation for color assignment, since a horse showing a color or pattern produced by recessives is by definition homozygous for the recessive alleles.

		These foal coat colors are often confused with the dun factor dilution colors above, and produce surprises for people as the horses mature and shed out their foal coats.
		These colors demonstrate why it can be very difficult to predict a horse's final color from their foal coat color.

	Basic Equine color genetics
		Colors such as Palomino, Dun, Buckskin, Grulla, Roan, Even Grey, are all over laid onto your three basic coat colors of Black Chestnut and Bay.
		This type of Bay horse is the only genetic base color that is truly 100% homozygous meaning producing bay 100% of the time no matter what base color it is bred to.
		In basic coat Color genetics Homozygous means two of the same gene.

	True Colors
		Since miniature horse colors can be confusing, pedigrees are questionable, if not non-existent, and evaluating offspring can be a very slow way of determining genetics; we must try to understand basic genetics to help us predict coat color.
		Most commonly encountered discussions of miniature horse coat color are based on phenotype, as in most cases we can only describe the colors that we see in the horse in front of us.
		The second great variable in coat color is the shade, intensity and distribution of the colors present in the pigment bearing cells.

	Gray (horse) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gray is a coat color of horses, consisting of black skin, a white to dark gray coat, and a mane the same color or darker than the body coat.
		W= white, c= color other than white (all other colors are recessive to white, so if a horse has a white gene from one parent and a colored gene from the other, the colored gene will be "masked" by the white, and the foal will appear white).
		They are born white (unlike a gray, which is born dark coated) and stay that color the rest of their life.

		However, Champagne also produces other effects: the skin is lightened to pink or is softly mottled; the coat color is considerably lightened, and foal may be born with blue eyes which turn hazel as it ages.
		The genetic Lineback Dun factor produces a very specific interference pattern in the coat of the horse and donkey.
		Savrasaya: Attractive uneven body color, yellowish or reddish coloring to the hair on the torso, with a lighter or mealy color on the extremity of the muzzle, around the eyes and on the belly.

	Stanley's Pride - Equine Color Genetics
		Since most Tennessee Walking Horses are registered as foals between the ages of three to six months, it is sometimes difficult to relate the color of the foal coat to that of the maturing horse after the shedding of its birthday fuzz.
		The new, smooth hair in these areas is most often the horse's permanent color.
		In cases where the foal coat on the legs is replaced by chestnut hair and the foal's mane and tail are not black, the foal will usually be chestnut.

		BAY - Coat color may vary from sandy tan to a deep rich dark mahogany, or almost black with black points (mane, tail and legs).
		Black foals are usually born a slate grey color and progressively darken to a true black after shedding their foal coat.

		The points are often used as a determining factor in color and the horse’s genetics control what color the horse will grow up to be.
		The points of the horse are the same color as the body.
		The points of a horse are the ears, muzzle and lower legs of the horse’s body.

		Shadings are common among banded coats with a deeper color found on the back, down the shoulders, on the head and in the center of the tail.
		This is a comparatively rare color stemming from the oxidation factors which may be favorably compared to the color of a Palomino horse.
		This coloring is due to the lack of melanin present and freckles often appear on the muzzle with buff saddles and ears.

	Horse breeder's tips: basic equine color genetics
		Dilution genes in combination with the horse's base coat have different effects depending on the type of dilution, the color of the base coat, and the presence of other genetic variations.
		Common traits of the champagne dilution include: amber, green, or blue eye color, pink to a light brown colored skin, often with freckles, dilution of the coat color, and a metallic sheen to the coat.
		Every color out there (with the possible exception of white, which geneticists are still studying) is a variation on either a red or a black base coat.

		Color dilution genes modify the basic colors and extend the array of horse coat colors.
		The basic equine coat colors are black, bay and chestnut and occur in nearly all breeds and are produced by the interactions of three genes: Agouti, Extension and Gray.
