Silver dilutes black pigment. Silver has no effect on Red. And a black horse carrying the silver gene will be brownish/chocolate with flaxen mane and tail.

Can palominos be considered a purebred line of horses Why or why not?

No they cannot as Palomino is a color and not a breed. Plus Palomino coloring does not always breed true as it is a dilution of Chestnut.


What is a very pale Palomino called?

for howrse it is Isabella It is not a palomino at all but a cremello. A palomino is a chestnut horse with a single dilution gene. Instead of having a reddish-brown body, mane and tail it has a golden body and a white mane and tail. A cremello is a chestnut with two dilution genes. It has a very pale gold body and a white mane and tail. Bays and blacks also have dilutes and double dilutes - bay, buckskin, perlino and black, grey, smokey cream.


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.


Where does palomino come from?

No one really know how the Palomino colored horse got its name. Queen Ysabella of Spain sent one stallion and five brood mares to new Spain know called Mexico. She sent them to improve the new world. Some people think it came from that others think it came from Dick Halliday registering his palomino horse El Rey De Los Reyes. so no one really knows. Hope this helps!


What color foal do you get when you breed a chestnut horse and a palomino horse?

You could get either a palomino or a chestnut. Since a palomino is a diluted chestnut, and a chestnut has no dilution genes, it will balance out the foal's genes so that it could be either color! Good Luck!

Why are palominos golden in color?

Because that's the color god made themA:Palomino's have a special gene that when crossed with a certain color, it dilutes it to a golden color.

Why do polo shirts have different color horses?

Because it is the company's logo the color is to match the shirt's color! There is a difference between brown horses and blue horses, but I do not know why.


Does an allele of the A gene cause pigment dilution in horses?

The A (agouti) and the E (extension) sites control the base color of a horse and are not associated with any of the dilution alleles. The A site has the alleles + (wild type baby) A (bay), At (brown) and a (black) The E site has the alleles E (not chestnut) and e (chestnut) The A site is hypostatic to the E site which means that the A site base color is only displayed if E is present as an allele in the genotype of the horse. ee horses are chestnut no matter what alleles are present at the A site EE and Ee horses are the color controlled by the alleles present at the A site Often breeders will comment that their stallion is homozygous for black because it has EE at the extension site however, a true homozygous black individual is aaEE. All the dilution alleles are present at different loci not only from the A and E sites but from each other as well. Dn, Cr, Ch, Zn etc.


What color is sliver?

silver is actually either a metallic color, grey, or silver... it depends on what kind of silver. They are usually silver, which is a color.


How many coulers do horses comme in?

The base coat colors are black, bay, brown and chestnut. These colors can have many shades. The base colors are modified by dilution genes Creme which produces buckskin, palomino cremello, perlino smokey black. Dun which produces red dun, grulla, dun Creme and Dun together can produce Dunalino, Dunskin, Slate Grulla Champagne produces Gold, Amber, Sable and Classic Silver (taffy) produces Silver Bay, Silver Black, Silver Sable (doesn't show on chestnut horses) Again all these colors can have many shades. Roan and grey can modify these colors further by adding white hairs to the coat color. Brindle is a rare color that adds stripes to the haircoat. Spotting patterns and other white markings are not included as colors in this answer.

Where do palomino horses originated from?

Spain. Palomino is a color and has been present in horses for a fairly long time. It is caused by the Cream Dilution gene, so as long as the breed carries the cream gene, they can also have palomino coloring. No one is 100% certain where cream or Palomino first cropped up, but it is likely caused by a genetic mutation.
