How many unique horse colors do you think there are. In part 2 of Unique horse colors, Heather discusses color patterns, rare horse colors, and what genes cause horses to be completely white. We learn about pigment cells and how genetic mechanisms work. From the Chocolate flaxen color to the leopard spotting color we cover them all. EQA #240 talks about the most desirable color the bay, to the most successful color of racehorse the chestnut. We hope you enjoy this episode on unique horse colors.
