I have a new horse arriving next week!
It's a horse I've wanted for YEARS but he was never available. Then he becomes available and due to a serious of unfortunate happenings I missed out.
Then he becomes available again and STILL things don't work out. Long, long story which a few of you on here have been privy to. Well, I'll believe it for sure when he's in my barn, but it appears like he may actually be mine!
(They cashed the check and it's cleared my bank
)
So, my question is...
He's registered as a Cremello but I believe him to be a Perlino. Both parents are buckskins - no question about that. I'm planning on testing for Red/Black Factor, Agouti, and Silver. What else? I want to confirm that he's A) really a perlino, B) is he homozygous for black and C) does he carry the silver gene. I want to know what I'm going to get when I breed him to my red-based mares in particular.
The color thing is both fascinating to me and very confusing at the same time.
