Buckskin is strictly a color, not a breed. Some interesting facts about the color itself:

1: Buckskin is created by a single copy of the cream gene acting on a bay base color.

2: There is a color registry for buckskin colored horses.

3: An old wives tale states that buckskin colored horses are tougher than other colored horses (untrue but fun to know).

4: Buckskin is often confused with Dun, they are separate genes.

5: Buckskin can range from a very pale washed out color known as buttermilk to an almost black color with sooty dapples.

6: Any breed that posses both bay and cream genes can create a buckskin colored horse.
