After getting three very lovely buckskin foals in a row while breeding some of my mares today I decided to go through my barns and see just how many buckskin horses I had managed to breed. I was completely surprised to discover that with the three I bred today I have amassed just over 50 buckskins! It occured to me that I had, unintentionally, become a buckskin breeder hahaha.

I breed for Sooty, DP, W10, Pearl, Snowflake and height in my drafts, I also have a KP draft line and a very small satin WB line on the side with a small smattering of KitM scattered throughout. I have never intentionally bred for buckskin coloured horses but it seems I have the right ingredients to keep producing them without ever truly noticing I was doing it until now. Has anyone else ‘accidentally’ bred for a certain trait or colour without really trying?

Just for fun I’ve linked a handful of my buckskin horses below, they have managed to make themselves known in every single one of my breeding projects. Every horse below is a tested buckskin and yet the variety in colour and shade is quite astounding. I’d love to see anyone elses unintentional breeding projects too!

Here is a sample of my buckskin band:

This little guy is last but def not least, one of the most beautiful foals i’ve ever bred, his pedigree could be better but i think he is completely perfect:
