Same Color genetics?
Post by GrimCamel »
So I have these two horses. The first one is a Silver Smoky Cream tobiano and is from my own line. The second one however comes from an outcross and the result was much paler. I'm wondering if he also is a Silver Smoky Cream Tobiano just a brighter shade?
This color project is all very new to me.

They are the same color. This is what Pangare (mealy) does to colors at times.GrimCamel wrote:So I have these two horses. The first one is a Silver Smoky Cream tobiano and is from my own line.

Both of these horse have pangare and the pangare on your 'outcross' is much more evenly distributed over the entire horse.
As an example of what extreme pangare can do to a horse, this is a wild bay horse (no dun, but carries silver):
I do not believe anything else is affecting the coloration of your horse.

Pangare is not the cause of the lightening on these horses. Pangare only affects red-based pigment, and the base pigment for both of these horses is black. The lightening in this case is the effect of the silver gene, which is also what is causing the horses to be more yellow in color rather than the brown of a non-silver, double-diluted black.BlackOak2 wrote:They are the same color.

Also, the sire of your first horse (GC Shameless Sham) is incorrectly labelled. He is brown cream roan (brown + 2xcream + roan), not sable cream (brown + 1xcream + champagne). If he was champagne he would have freckling on his muzzle, which he does not.

Lol. It happens. The double dilutes can be tricky because they can look red-based even though they're not.BlackOak2 wrote: Dang it! Black.

Yeah, but I should've already learned my lesson, especially when those darn silver dapples were staring right at me. That's gotta be like the 20-umpteenth time I've made that same mistake.Silverine wrote:Lol. It happens.

Sometimes, one (I) just feels like an idiot! Hah! In this case, it's pretty deserved.

That may be true! We haven't chatted for awhile, I may feel a bit neglected! Of course I haven't really had much to chat about.
But I do like it when you come behind my color posts and correct me. Though I don't always say it, I do appreciate the corrections when I'm wrong. The last thing our community needs is being taught wrong.

Yeah, I've been really ghost-y lately anyway. I got a job offer from my summer internship, so I've been trying to actually pass my last year of classes so that I can take them up on it. Plus I bought a new horse and I've been working on her - I love her to death but she knew almost nothing when I brought her home. She couldn't even bend. But now she's working on being a dressage pony. We have our second show coming up on Sunday.BlackOak2 wrote: Hah!

I'm glad you don't mind! Some people get really angry at corrections. But how are we supposed to learn without them?
