It is a bay with one copy of the cream gene, which lightens red pigment to gold and leaves black untouched.
Similar to a bay dun, but a buckskin has no dark dorsal stripe or leg barring. With a light mane it would be a palomino.
Norwegian Fjords are often called buckskin in Russian, though genetically they are duns: they carry a dorsal stripe.
What to use: sandy or mustard plush, black yarn and black ear tips. Free hobby horse pattern →
