What crosses produce a buckskin foal?
Typically a cremello or palomino crossed to a bay or black horse will produce a buckskin foal.
If you give a bay horse one cream gene what color will his coat turn into?
Buckskin
Can you breed a buckskin stalllion and a paint mare and get a buckskin paint?
Well possibly, this would mainly depend on the color of the mare. Buckskin is a dilute color and will dilute the base color of a horse (Bay + Cream= buckskin etc,).
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.
Is a buckskin a horse breed or a color?
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.
What clor will the foal be if you breed a bay and a grullo horse?
You would most likely get either any shade or buckskin or a grullo
What is the difference between a chestnut and bay colt?
Colt has no matter. A chestnut horse, has a chestnut colored body with the same colored mane. A bay horse, Has darker brown (bay) body with generally a black mane.
Where did buckskin come from?
If you mean Buckskin the horse color, then it came about through the cream dilution gene acting on a bay or black horse. The cream gene affects the body color of the horse giving it a 'washed out' appearance. In the single form cream will not typically affect the black coloring on a bay horse leaving the points dark, but will dilute the body color. In it's double form Cream will usually affect the black points as well.
What is the difference between a chesnut and a palimino in horses?
A chesnut is a light brown color horse and a palomino is a yellow or golden color horse, and a bay is a dark color horse.
The difference between a firth and a bay?
the difference between a firth and a bay is a firth is bigger
What do you get from buckskin and pinto?
The foal resulting from breeding a buckskin horse and a pinto could have many coat color and pattern possibilities. It would depend on the base color making up the buckskin, and on which pattern(s) the pinto had. It will also depend on the base color of the pinto horse, since pinto is only one part of the coloration.Since the base color of the pinto isn't given, there is no way to truly map out the color possibilities. From the buckskin, you have a fifty percent chance of getting the cream gene, which is about the only think that can be narrowed down. The horse might be homozygous for black or agouti, meaning you would always have a bay-based horse. All of the other factors have to be considered in.Basically, you might get black, you might get bay, or buckskin, half might be pinto. The rest of this vast layout of possibilities depends on the exact genetic makeup of both parents.
What is the gene that turns horses from bay to buckskin?
The cream gene.
