What is a perlino?

Perlino is a cream gene that is responsible for a number of horse coat colors. Horses with a chestnut base coat color and the cream gene will become palomino if they carry one cream gene, and will be cremello if they carry a pair of the cream genes.


How do you get perlino horse?

Looks at the descendents and gene types from both mare and stallion. The color perlino is basically diluted buckskin


Can you get perlino with a chestnut stallion a perlino mare?

No, If the stallion is a true Chestnut this is not possible. Because you would need to breed two horses together that carry at least 1 cream gene each. The Perlino has 2 cream genes and so will give her offspring one cream gene 100% of the time but the chestnut does not have one. The possible outcome of the resulting foal would be one of three colors, depending on the genetic makeup of each horse, A Palomino, A Buckskin, or possibly a Smoky black. It is easier to understand basic horse color genetics if you think of horses as three basic colors; Black, Bay and Chestnut. All other colors including gray being a modification of those three.(There are studies being done regarding Brown but this would really confuse this issue) In order to breed a Perlino you must understand what a Perlino is genetically. A perlino is a double dilute of a Bay. A Bay horse carrying 2 cream genes that modifies it's body color. A bay horse that carries 1 dilute or cream gene would be Buckskin. Therefore we can go further and say a Cremello is a double dilute of a Chestnut horse (chestnut that carries 2 cream genes). A Chestnut that carries 1 dilute/cream gene would be palomino. A Smoky Cream is a black horse that carries 2 dilution/cream genes. A Black that carries 1 would be smoky black (looks like a black bay typically) Today there are labs that will give you the genetic color of your horse for a nominal fee (around $50) From this information you can judge with a great level of certainty what colors are possible from that horse when bred to other horses. One such lab is UC Davis. There are many articles on the web that can go even further into color genetics. Breaking the horse's color down into Agouti and Extension genotypes. With some practice and basic understanding of this genetic formula for horse coat color, breeders can know instead of guess the possible colors of the foals they produce. This has been an invaluable tool to breeding colorful horses.


What color horse will you get if you breed a palomino stud to buckskin mare?

These percentages are from HorseTesting.com which has a color calculator on their website. I hope this helps. 29.17% buckskin 16.67% palomino 14.58% perlino 14.58% bay 8.33% Cremello 8.33% chestnut 4.17% smoky black 2.08% smoky cream 2.08% black.


What is the color of the white horse of Henri 4?

pale cream color


What horse draft breed was distinguished by its cream colored coat?

The American Cream Draft comes to mind. It is the size of a draft horse, but has a coat ranging from buttery palomino to perlino. Most are almost white. It has a nose rather unlike a draft, but more like a Quarter Horse. This could also refer to a Haflinger, which can be cream colored but also ranges into the deep gold palomino range.


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 colors can a horse come in?

A horse can come in many colors and patterns including, but not limited to: Bay, Brown, Black, Chestnut, Sorrel, Roan, Dun,Grey, White,Buckskin, Palomino, Cream, Cremello, Perlino,Grulla, Champagne, Pearl, Pinto, Appaloosa, and many more.


If you give a bay horse one cream gene what color will his coat turn into?

Buckskin


What color is a paint horse?

Paint horses come in many colors and patterns. Colors can be:Bay, Black, Chestnut, brown. (The basic colors with one copy of cream are:Buckskin, Smokey black, Palomino, and smokey brown (also called brownskin), The basic colors with two copies of cream are: Perlino, Smokey Cream, Cremello, and either again Smokey brown or Moreno.) The above colors can have the following modifiers: Cream, Champagne, Silver, Grey, Roan, Rabicano, Dun. Pinto patterns are: Tobiano, Tovero, Frame, Sabino, Splash. It should be noted that Paint horses can also be solid in color as color is not a requirement.


What color horse do you get when you breed a perlino to a bay?

The color you will get will depend on what the parents genetics are exactly. You have to know exactly what the parents are Heterozygous or Homozygous for and if they have any 'extra' stuff hidden in their genetics. However you will likely have the best chance at getting a buckskin foal, palomino and smoky black are also possible options.
