There's no way to guarantee that any two horses will produce a buckskin, to the best of my knowledge. To produce a buckskin, however, at least one parent must carry the cream gene. The cream gene is responsible for lightening a bay horse into buckskin, and it is also what causes palomino and other colors.

If you breed two smokey black (black with one cream gene) horses, you cannot get a buckskin. Likewise, if you breed two palomino horses, or one palomino and one chestnut, you will not get a buckskin.

If you mean what colors produce a buckskin, then typically a bay, brown, or black horse is bred to a palomino, cremello,perlino, or another buckskin to try and get the diluted buckskin color.

Buckskin is not a breed of horse but a color. There is a buckskin registry but it has nothing to do with the breed of the horse but his coat color. The Pinto registry is the same thing. The Buckskin registry will take any breed of horse as long as it has the buckskin color.

Because Buckskin is a color of horse and not an actually breed, it has nothing to do with how big the horse will get. Many breeds of horses are capable of coming in the buckskin coloring and therefore , the color can range from the smallest horse size (around 4.2 hands, or 18inches) to the largest available horse sizes, nearly 21hh (or around 82 inches or just over 6ft, 10inches).

Paint is a breed and buckskin is a color.

How did buckskin color on a horse come about?

A buckskin gets it's coloring from the cream gene (Cr), a bay horse with a Cr gene is a buckskin. A bay itself is a modification of the black coat color gene (Ee or EE) with the agouti gene (A), which limits the back color to the legs/tail/mane and allowing the red pigment (e) to show. The Cr gene lightens the red pigment into the well known buckskin color.
