Champagne
Champagne is a dominant gene that dilutes hair pigment from black to brown and red to gold.
A dominant gene means that only one copy of the Champagne gene is enough for the gene to make effect.
The Champagne gene makes the following alterations:
Hair
On chestnut background it produces a gold body colour and often a fairer coloured main and tail (this can be mistaken for Palomino).
On Bay background produces a darker tan body with brown points.
Skin
The skin of horses carrying the Champagne dilute gene is pinkish / Lavender toned, it becomes speckled as the horse ages particularly around the eyes, muzzle, under the tail, udder and sheath.
Eyes
Blue-green at birth which darkens to amber as the horse ages.
The Champagne gene is inherited independently of the other coat colour genes and therefore this dilution may occur in combination with any other colour modification gene.

Sample Requirements |
Hair Sample from mane with roots (approx 30 hairs) or 1 ml whole blood in EDTA tube.
How to obtain a viable hair sample
Pull around 30 hairs from the mane of the horse with the roots (in faols hair from the tail maybe taken). Wrap the hairs around your finger or a comb, as close as possible to the skin to ensure you obtain the hair roots. Keep dry, put in a bag, label the bag with the horse name, test (s) required. Place in an envelope and send back to us together with the order form. Broken or cut off hair will not be accepted.
