General information
The Champagne dilution gene lightens the coat colour of the horse by diluting the pigment. The skin of Champagne-diluted horses is pinkish/lavender toned and becomes speckled with age; the speckling is particularly noticeable around the eye, muzzle, under the tail, udder and sheath. The eye colour is blue-green at birth and darkens to amber as the horse ages.
Clinical features
Champagne has the following effects on the basic coat colours of horses: Chestnut/Sorrel -> Gold champagne: a gold body colour and often a flaxen mane and tail. Gold champagne horses are visually similar to palomino horses. Bay/Brown -> Amber champagne: a tan body colour with brown points (sometimes referred to as amber Buckskin.) Black -> Classic champagne: a darker tan body with brown points.
