| 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! This website:

OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN
WILD HORSE GENTLING:
 
| | | The Flaxen Gene is one of the few color genes that is recessive. Thus, it works only on the Red base color, which is also recessive. It causes the points to be diluted to light cream or white.   
Without a genetics test for the presence or absence of Creme or Black, some Flaxen Chestnuts are hard to distinguish from Palominos. Others look much the same as Silver Dapple Bays.
See PALOMINO OR FLAXEN CHESTNUT? The Haflinger is an example of an entire Flaxen Chestnut breed:
Cheryl Kavicky and MosesBecause both flaxen and chestnut (red) are recessive, they have no hidden color genes to pass on to their offspring. Therefore, all offspring of matings between two flaxen chestnuts are the same color: flaxen chestnut. In this way, it is possible for a breed to be color-specific, such as the Haflinger. |
