It’s really just about the Agouti genes present or not present.

Buckskin is the result of a Cream gene acting on a Bay coat- to get a Buckskin you’d likely have to breed a black to a cremello (a red horse that looks white but actually is homozygous for the Cream gene). And you might only get a smoky black, or a palomino, depending on if your black is homozygous for the Extension gene (responsible for black coats)and whether or not either horse carries the Agouti gene (which causes Bay instead of black when in action with the Extension gene.)

Thank you,
