What color is this filly?

07-26-2006, 03:09 PM

In my searching of local ads, etc. I found this very darling little filly. But her color is throwing me a bit. The owner says she is a buckskin, but she doesn't look like any buckskin foal I have seen, not even her half-siblings that the owner also has listed.

This is her sire: a registered Palomino Quarter Horse. He is color tested so there is no doubt what he is.

This is her dam: unregistered large pony mare. Not sure of her color: buckskin? Maybe dun or even champagne? It is hard to tell for me by the pictures. Some more pictures of the dam with the filly below.

This is the filly herself. She was born nearly white, with a grayish mane and tail and BLUE eyes.

So, any thoughts on what color this little girl might be?

She looks buttermilk buckskin to me

I was thinking Perlino.

(I already replied to one of your pictures)

I think she's champagne. Champagne is a rather unusual color and has it's own shades and many affects. I think that's what she is. Some form of it.

Buttermilk Buckskin seems wrong. I don't notice any black points on the foal. Both parents look to be red based (the dam is a little tricky, but she looks red to me), so could only have a red baby.

Could you get closer pics of the foal? I'm thinking champagne right now..

Cremello (sp)??? could be wrong

Your filly looks somewhat like this Champagne stallion. I looked for a lot of pics of Champagnes, but mainly got the classic color or darker colors. The stallion is a 'silver champagne'.

Really...you don't think Momma looks like a really light Buckskin? I thought she looked a little bit champagne.

I wish I could see close of pics of the Dam's muzzle and eye.
It sure is possible!

Her points can come in after she sheds her foal coat.
Grace didn't have her points until she shead out.

This is a Perlino stallion that they say carries the champagne gene
