RARE: includes both homozygous & heterozygous listings Maestro's Bardic Gold champagne sport pony stallion also suspected to carry the silver dapple and sabino gene       Genetic discussion of Champagne dilute gene horses: A Champagne horse is any horse with one (heterozygous) or two (homozygous) Champagne color dilution genes. The champagne gene appears the same in appearance (phenotype) whether it is homozygous or heterozygous. Champagne dilute horses will usually (but not ALWAYS) have a specific kind of freckling on the skin, (different from mottling of spotted horses, and other dilutes) that is evident where hair is thin (muzzle etc). It will also lighten their eyes. Foals will have blue eyes at birth, which gradually darken to hazel to light borwn at maturity. Many champagne horses are also very shiny, with a metallic sheen to their coat. But not all of them! And the satin sheen may be a completely separate gene! (See weird!). Gold Champagne is champagne on sorrel or chestnut. Amber Champagne is champagne on bay. Classic Champagne is champagne on black. Sable Champagne is champagne on a brown horse.       This dilute gene is quite rare in most equine breeds, and for that reason, we are interested in listing all horses with the champagne dilute gene, even in the heterozygous form. Remember mares owners, breeding to a heterozygous stallion gives a 50% chance of color inheritance to the foal, whereas breeding to a homozygous stallion will guarantee inheritance to the foal (as much as possible with Mother Nature). Maestro's Bardic Gold (Loafers Lodge Maestro X Goldie) 2002 12.2hh American Sport Pony stallion AWR# Branded and Approved FIRST PREMIUIM (7.8) "Bard" is a heterozygous champagne sport pony stallion, also suspected to carry the silver dapple and sabino gene. Bard is maturing into an impressive little stallion, with excellent conformation, movement and temperment. Bard is in training with Elly Schobel where he's been shown in open USDF classes, (including DAD) the Summer/Fall of 2004 against warmblood colts. On September 11th 2004 Bard was presented for his AWR/ASPR preliminary stallion testing. He scored an overall of 7.8 making him a FIRST PREMIUM with an 8 for conformation/breed type and an 8 on his free jumping. PA Ebs Wind Dancer is 15.2 hh gold homozygous champagne (on chestnut base) TWHBEA stallion with a very gentle disposition, correct conformation & a natural four-beat gait. He has produced 100% champagne foals in 10 years of breeding. Wind Dancer's skin is almost completely pink, with a small amount of mottling - less than half the mottling of a heterozygous champagne horse. His coat color is very light (but not as light as a cremello) and extremely shiny - and he has light amber-green eyes. TN Champagne Walkers, LLC Brighton, CO.
