Saltwater Pearl is a 2025 foal born on Assateague and owned by Rose of Sharon Ranch. Thanks for sharing her results! Pearl is by palomino Chief Golden Eagle and out of buckskin tobiano Serendipity. She has three full siblings. Last year's full sibling was also a double dilute.
Saltwater Pearl's test results: e/e, A/A, CR/CR, nd2/nd2, TO/n Pearl is the pale, near white, color of a double cream dilute. Ponies like her have two copies of the cream dilution. Cream is an incomplete dominant which means two copies of cream look different than one. Her test showed this as CR/CR. As you can see she also has pink skin and blue eyes which is something all double dilutes have. https://www.thecolorfulchincoteague.com/doubledilute.html Most double dilutes visually look the same and require testing to find out which type they are. In Pearl's case she could be a cremello or a perlino. Her sire appears to be homozygous for agouti which would rule out smoky cream for her. Pearl's test says she is a cremello. e/e means she has two copies of red/chestnut. https://www.thecolorfulchincoteague.com/chestnut.html It's really hard to tell when looking at her but Peral is tobiano pinto. She has one copy because only her dam is tobiano. This showed on her test as TO/n. The white markings of double dilutes can be very hard to see as they blend into the pale coat color. When they're wet they can be seen a lot easier. https://www.thecolorfulchincoteague.com/tobiano.html The last part of her test nd2/nd2 tells us that she doesn't have or doesn't have the mutation to have primitive markings, like a dorsal stripe. https://www.thecolorfulchincoteague.com/primitivemarkings.html
