Gold Champagne

Gold is the result of one or two champagne genes acting upon a different red (sorrel or chestnut) horse. Depending on which other genes are present, this can have several different results. Gold Champagne Horses usually have a Flaxen mane and tail and sometimes they are born the same beautiful-golden sorrel color all over.

The usual way the Champagne gene affects a red (sorrel or chestnut) based horse is to create a golden body color with a flaxen, or near-white, mane and tail.

Nearly the entire American Cream Draft Horse breed is gold Champagne, which they call "medium cream".
