Buckskin or not?
This stallion is super pretty, and it looks like he is a buckskin... but his mane is a lot lighter than his legs. So I'm just wondering is this a buckskin or something else?

Re: Buckskin or not?
He is what is known as a silver buckskin! So he has buckskin, with the silver gene which is what is making his mane and tail appear lighter than his legs. In addition he also has the tobiano gene which is seen with his leg, currently all white markings (face, body, legs) are linked to the tobiano gene. So, long story short he is a Silver Buckskin Tobiano!Lavender Stables wrote:This stallion is super pretty, and it looks like he is a buckskin... but his mane is a lot lighter than his legs.

Cool! I did not know silver was a thing, but that makes a lot of sense. Also did not realize that he had tobiano! Thank you!!Woodstock wrote:He is what is known as a silver buckskin!
