Cream

Cream dilutes red pigment. One cream gene will turn a chestnut to palomino and a bay to buckskin. Two cream genes give you a cremello or a perlino which are often thought to be albinos because of their light coloured eyes and skin. Cream doesn’t really affect black but with a hairy breed like the Cobs sometimes the ear tufts are a creamy colour which indicates at them being a black buckskin or smokey black as it is also called. The cream gene can be tested for. I have a very soft spot for the buckskins so more pics are always welcome!!

She also looks to have a bit of the smutty gene.

Mostly seen on her back legs.
