I believe that if I’m remembering right, there’s a rank 1 “grey and cream” herd helper. That might give you a boost.

In my limited experience, it's a combination of lightening genes that gets you those white foals (just grey gives you darker foals that whiten out over time).

So - dun, cream, grey, silver, champagne, white spotting, etc. all can play a part.

I got a white filly this season -- she's hom Cream and silver and grey and w2.


Full Whiteout

Her sire is a silver perlino dun All Washed Up RS -- that might be something you want to look for if you like RS horses.

Another of my foals from a similar pairing is only het cream and didn't get the W2, and she came out yellowish (though she'll fade with time).


Washout G2

Hope that gives you some ideas to play with!

Edit to add -- my All Washed Up stud is a great breeder but I never seem to use all his capacity. PM me if you're interested in breeding to him sometime. I can put him up in my chat for you if you're interested.
