AMBER


Champagne on Bay

Our "Logo Mare", Sweet Champagne, is an Amber Champagne.

  Amber is the result of one or two champagne genes on a bay (black + agouti) base coat.


This beautiful variety tends to have a golden tan body color with brown points, though the legs are often lighter than the mane & tail.  Often the mane and/or tail will have "frosting" of some kind, that is, lighter hairs along the edges.

An Amber foal's coat color is often darker than the adult; the skin starts out the usual bright pink, becoming a more subdued pink color as the horse ages and develops more and more freckles.

The eye color starts out blue, as with all known Champagnes, and usually ends up amber to brown.

This particular Amber Champagne mare is 7/8 Arab - 1/8 QH, with the Champagne coloring coming from her QH ancestors;  it is unknown in the Arabian breed. 

Her nickname, Freckles, comes from her characteristically freckled skin.

Please be sure you include all requested info in your email.About emailing the ICHR:  Horse color questions cannot be answered without the horse's breed and registered name, if any.  Due to the extensive research conducted by the ICHR, we are usually able to determine if a horse has champagne in its pedigree by recognizing the names of ancestors we have determined were actually champagne.  These champagne sources are listed in the right column of each entry in our stud book!
