Champagne plus Dun

When a horse has Champagne gene plus Dun in its genes,
the result is a beautifully diluted color with striking dun markings...usually*.

*The appearance of horses with these genetics can vary,
based on things like "shade" and "sootiness",
the genetic or environmental mechanics of which
are not known at this time.

Emailing ICHR: Horse color questions will not 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 champagne,
listed in the right column of each
entry in our stud book.
ASK about "grade" horses, please.
