I know someone that has a peruvian paso that she is selling and has advertised him as having green eyes. i haven't seen him in person,but that is so cool. i didn't even know it was possible! from the pics he looks like a very light palomino or a perlino. does anyone have pics of horses with green eyes? i would love to see them... i am curious now!
The horse is probably carrying Pearl, which is a recessive dilution gene that is activated by creme. Pasos are one of the breeds that have been identified as carriers of this gene. It causes green eyes.
As Quixotic said, if the horse has the pearl gene and it's activated on cream (Which it would be as he is perlino?) then he could quite feasibly have green eyes and they will stay green :]
horses with green eyes are very often blue eyed horses with an infection of the inner chamber of the eye causing it to fill with yellow pus creating a lovely green color. If there is no infection, as has been mentioned, it will not be a permenant eye color.
