CREMELLO
A SORREL horse that
received one copy of the
crème gene from both of its parents, and has blue eyes, cream to nearly
white hair coat, and a white mane and tail. |

Most people and color
calculators will tell you that if you breed a cremello to a sorrel or
chestnut mare that there is a 100% chance of getting a palomino. This is
for the most part correct, but there are actually 2 different genotypes
for sorrels and 4 different genotypes for chestnut horses. This is also
true for many of the other "standard" colors used by the horse industry.
As a result, there are many different colors you can get by breeding a
cremello to a sorrel/chestnut mare. Some of these colors are called duns
(Claybank Dun, Lilac Dun, Yellow Dun & etc), but these genotypes do not
include the dun gene which makes it somewhat confusing. What we have
done below is listed some of the basic colors by actual color/genotype
name and the possible resulting colors from crossing them with a
Cremello. We have also adjusted the chart slightly due to "Supernatural
Fella" being Homozygous for the Agouti Gene! |
