My foal was born with a yellow body and black mane and tail but its legs are yellow too would it still be considered a buckskin?
Buckskin foals are generally born with no or little black hair showing on there legs as a kick back to their wild heritage. In the wild the less distinguishable pattern a foal has the better it can blend with the herd and hide form predators. If you look at the breeds that still retain the wild markings you will notice their bellies will be lighter and fade gradually into the golden colored bodies so they can blend with the tall grasses. Zebra’s use the opposite effect they use there stripes to blend in with the herd so they are harder to be singled out by the predators.
