Horse Color Dilutes – Silver Gene

Silver Basics

Although it only affects dark pigments, silver is rather dramatic and it gives simple black a little sparkle. While it does have an effect on bays, it creates the most notable change on black and brown animals, changing their coloring entirely.

Silver Modified and Diluted

Silver can pair nicely with several of the modifiers and dilutions, adding its glamour to some of the decidedly less glamorous colors.

White on Silver

While not the rarest, silver animals are not extremely common in the equine world. The spotted versions of them are even rarer, but absolutely stunning in their variety. Silver white patterns aren’t always obvious and may be mistaken for other colors, but they can be absolutely fabulous.

    Miss Paige … my … my …

    Please remove the photo of TMV Silver Hawk. I AM the copyright holder of this photo (yes, I snapped the photo myself, along with many others on the site), thus, I do have the legal right to request you not take my photos from the Tamars Venture’s site.

    Thought I had gone away, huh? No, sorry … just had to consult with a copyright attorney. I will contact you privately (now that I’ve found your private email address) to share what she said for me to tell you.

    Finally, one you own.

    Thought you had gone away? Not a chance, it is obvious when you are on my site. I just have to look for comments with insults in them. As I mentioned on the other post where you insulted me, there are better ways to tackle business competitors than this.

    I sent you an email, please have your attorney contact me directly.
