The distinctive Buckskin horse always stands out in a crowd. Due to a dilution in the genes that subdues a bay coloration to a lighter hue, Buckskins can run the gamut to include Buckskin, Dun, Red Dun, Grulla, Dunalino, and Perlino horses. The distinctive coloration can be found in a wide variety of breeds, from miniature horses to riding and draft horses. Buckskin horses are synonymous with the American West, but horses with this unique color palette excel in all equine sports, and they are prized by their owners.
