    nice line up for you too – I spy another blue-eyed beauty in the middle :)

  • Diane Swarts replied

    Hi Sky! I was wondering if he isnt technically an albino, I didnt see any spot of color on him whatsoever and no scelera or any kink or markings, just pink skin white fur and those blue eyes. I wanted to get him along to get a closeup but he stay with his homies the whole time darn it!

    He’s not albino – the cream colour, pink skin & blue eye are indicative of a cremello (or maybe perlino if there was smutting on legs & darker hairs in the mane/tail). Cremello/Perlino colour occurs as a result of a double serving of the cream gene – cream on palomino makes cremello, cream on buckskin makes perlino :)

  • Diane Swarts replied

    Yeah its been a while since I went thru the descriptions for those various colors, in person he looks stark white not cream, champagne, perllino, or cremello to me, he does have some black pigment on his nose though.
