A sorrel horse will become a Palomino if it carries one "cream" dilution gene, a cremello if it carries two dilution genes. A bay horse will become Buckskin if it carries one "cream" dilution gene, and a Perlino if it carries two "cream" dilution genes. Since there is little effect on black pigment, this dilution can produce some confusing results on black horses or darker sooty/smutty colors. A black horse carrying the "cream" dilution gene will show little effect. If he has any red areas, such as on the muzzle or flanks, those areas will become gold colored. The rest of the coat will stay black or sometimes be slightly diluted to a brownish color, like Poco Bell Boy JF, which is called a Smokey Black, Brown, Seal Brown, or extremely smutty Buckskin.
Are you wondering what your mare might have if she were bred to Poco Bell Boy JF? IF you would like to know the the color options your mare could have breeding to Poco Bell Boy JF, feel free to email and inquire.
EXAMPLEIf Poco Bell Boy JF were bred to a BAY mare the resulting foal color options as follows:
14% Bay,
14% Buckskin
14% Black
14% Smokey Black
12.5% Sorrel(ruano)
12.5% Palomino
5% Sorrel(tostado)
5% Yellow Dun
5% Chocolate Chestnut
5% Lilac Dun.

The four images below are thanks to my computer/video savvy 12yr old daughter. She has managed to pull these photos off of a 8mm tape. We had borrowed the camera that my husband used to video me showing Brown in 2001. We've tried many companies to have this put on DVD, so I can put a video of me showing Brown on youtub.com., but no such luck after 2 years of trying. In February 2002 I was rear-ended in an auto accident and unable to ride or show, so I retired Brown. Just last year (8-2007) I have started riding again working with my daughter and her project gelding. I'm going to start riding Brown again after breeding season and see if I can tune him up enough for my daughter to make a video. The first photo is me warming him up and sliding him along the fence. The other three is of us cutting a cow.
