This is a discussion on help picking out what to test for? within the Horse Colors and Genetics forums, part of the Horse Breeds, Breeding, and Genetics category
I am thinking about testing my mustang. For her base color and her pinto pattern. I know she probably has sabino for sure. She also has a half bald face. But what else? What specifically should I test for?
And here she is all wet after a bath.
She also has freckles
And before her bath.
Cream, Extension (red/black) Agouti (the good one with brown included lol), Frame. You could throw in Dun, Sabino and Splash but I don't think she looks splashy, and Sab1 doesn't seem common in "big" horses. And she doesn't look dun to me either.
She isn't a double dilute because her eyes are dark, unless I am mistaken from the pics. I'm not so good with colors to tell you any more than that, but she looks like a light buckskin with some other gene making the coat even lighter.
NdAppy. I have entertained that idea but I have owned her for basically $ years. Her color has never changed. If she was grey I think she would be more grey and less red. She is about 9 years old now. So grey is a definite possibility.
She does have dark eyes as well. I think she may be a buckskin. As if you look her mane and tail are pretty frosted. Her mane is really dark under it.. but idk if I would call I black. I always thought she was probably a buckskin with a champagne. Which would be an ambercream.
