This website is owned and created by Nancy Kerson, a private citizen - I am not the BLM or any other branch of government!

Information about BLM adoptions is offered as a service, to help mustangs find homes and to promote public appreciation of wild horses and burros.

Please direct adoption questions to the BLM, not to me.

And I sure as heck am not a Mustang car dealership!

I have NO horses or burros for sale and am not interested in buying or listing or otherwise promoting your sale animals!

THE CREME GENE
is a Dilution Gene that "bleaches out" the base coat.

This band of wild horses include almost the full range of Creme Gene coloring

What the Creme Gene Does:
Base Color1 (Single) Creme Gene2 (Double) Creme Genes

Red

Palomino

Cremello

Bay

Buckskin

Perlino

Black
 

Smoky Black

Smoky Cream*

* Smokey Cream horses and perlino horses look pretty much the same, visually. The new Creme and Agouti tests on the market now allow accurate identification.

The Creme Gene is an Incomplete Dominant.

It is Dominant in that if a horse has just one creme gene, it will affect the horse's coloring.

Its Dominance is "Incomplete" in that the effect created by one gene is magnified when there are two.

Thus, a single gene lightens red to palomino. A double set of creme genes further bleaches it to the nearly-white, blue-eyed, pink-skinned Cremello.

Both The University of California at Davis and Animal Genetics, Inc. of Florida can test for the presence of Tobiano, Red, Frame, Creme, Silver, Sabino1, and Agouti (Bay). The test for Tobiano can determine whether or not a horse is homozygous of heterozygous (good to know if you are trying to breed for Tobiano).

You can download forms for these tests from their website-- follow
