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.
