What causes the cremello color?
A cremello horse, is a horse with two creme dilution genes and a “chestnut” base color. A palomino is a “chestnut” horse + one creme dilution gene. The double dilution gene causes the horse’s pigment to be “lightened” twice. A cremello does have pigment…Bryn has markings that are quite evident, including star, strip, snip (even an obvious chin snip) and two high hind stockings.
