Cream

Breeding Cream Horses are just like adding white paint to another color of paint. For example, mixing white paint with blue paint makes a lighter blue. Cream gene only makes the horse's color lighter, but does not remove it, even when there are two present. Breeding two cream horses cannot make an actual albino and are not linked to any defects or weaknesses.

There are no Albino Horses. The only truly pink skin on a horse will be under its white markings, if any.

The Cream Gene creates the Palomino, buckskin, cremello, perlino, smoky black and smoky cream colors.

Every horse has two locations in its genetic code where a certain type of color modification gene can reside. These genes are commonly called "cream" genes. They make the horse's base color one or two shades lighter, depending on whether there are one or two of the genes present.
