Location: Gainesville, TX | So I asked a question about a friend's horse out of this stallion not to long ago, but when I got to looking I noticed the stallion has really pale amber eyes. Does anyone think he could be champagne?

Location: Gainesville, TX | I'm not really concerned with his registered color because all too often they don't match the genetic color. It's just interesting to me. I'm sure he's registered bay. I thought the creme gene could also cause this . . . (maybe a smoky black?). I have one of those but she's much darker. |

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | I don't know either but there are a lot of FWF with amber eyes. I bred a sorrel mare (gray sire/sorrel dam) to a dun tobiano stud (dun sire/bay dam) and the filly came out sorrel with amber eyes. JLB has all sorrels way back other than his dam that is by a bay stallion. So going off his pedigree I don't see the potential for a cream gene to be present, but the amber eyes could be a genetic trait all of their own-hence the FWF with it. |

| I studied color for the longest time and from what I would gather, he would be an amber champagne! |

Location: In The Land of Cotton | Here is another color question - a registered brown - crossed on a line back dun mare - with zebra striping on her legs. What color would they produce - of course a guess.  |

Location: Utah | His eyes look like a champane but his color is dark although they can be seal brown. This is my Champane buckskin, he has amber eyes. I wish I had a pcture of his eyes to share.
