Buckskin
Chestnut

Buckskin is one copy of the cream gene on bay. Buckskin ponies must have at least one parent with the cream gene. Buckskins have black manes and tails and black legs, however buckskins legs are not always solid black. Buckskin and dun are sometimes used interchangeably or mistaken for one another; this is incorrect as they are two different colors genetically. A dorsal stripe on a buckskin does not mean that it is a dun. For more information on false duns please see Dun Central Station. Buckskins often fade in the sun so that their mane and tails are not jet black. Buckskin foals legs are not black until they shed the foal coat. Buckskins also often have white streaks or “frosting” in their manes and tails.
