Are all horses that appear to be Cremello actually Cremello? is there a guarantee that they have the full creme gene. I know they produce only color when bred to any horse(no bays or chestnuts)!! Awesome!! But agian are all those "white" pink skinned horses a solid Creme gene horse.
I guess what I mean is do they all carry the creme gene and tha ability to ONLY produce color.
Only asking for educational perpouses.. I do not own any Cremellos or perlinos

Almost any horse with blue eyes and pink skin with a cream Color are either a Perlino or a Cremello.
a Perlino is slightly more orangey or rusted in the main and tail. and the cremello is typically white.
depending on the color code of the horse AND what the Mare is(or sire) you can get smokey blacks, buckskins, perlinos, cremellos, ETC.
You can even get Smokey creams. Which is a homozygous black horse with is ALSO homozygous cream.

It is possible for a horse to appear cremello and not be homozygous for the creme gene. example is a horse with one creme gene and a champagne gene. i did not see the horse in person so not sure if you would be able to tell just by looking
