This filly is from a PROVEN and PROVEN and PROVEN CROSS!!!!! One of the theories about this filly (and her full siblings) extreme color dilution is that they carry the rare and unique Champagne gene (inherited
from her mother). It supposedly dilutes palomino to a cremello or ivory champagne looking color. There is also some theory that suggests a similar gene that comes from the dams side, that is not actually the "Champagne" gene, but that acts like it.
However, NONE of these theories are proven, nor are there genetic tests for them, yet. The only thing we know for sure is that these horses are beautiful and very rare. And it is suspected, by one of the leading coat color geneticists, that these types
of horses will be very high creme dilute color producers (i.e. buckskins, palominos and then also the various shades of Champagne). You won't find a better bred filly than this in this unique color package! A breeders dream! Remember folks!....she's
