ELECTRUM aka 'Casper'

Definition of Electrum : A naturally occurring alloy of silver and gold. The earliest coins of ancient Asia Minor and many Byzantine issues were struck in this metal.

THE FIRST AND ONLY CREMELLO THOROUGHBRED IN THE UK !

Note : At the present time the colour cremello is not listed as one of the recognised colours with the International Thoroughbred Stud Books and therefore any cremello is listed as palomino.
Weatherby's will be discussing with the International Stud Book Committee the decision to allow cremellos to be registered as their correct colour.

NEWSFLASH !!!! THE ISBC HAVE APPROVED THE COLOUR CREMELLO...ELECTRUM IS THE 1st TB REGISTERED AS CREMELLO IN THE WORLD!!!!!

His future career will be focused as an Event horse/Sporthorse.

Electrum has been DNA colour genetic tested by UC Davis to be e/e, A/A, Cr/Cr. Chestnut mares crossed to him will produce 100% Palomino offspring; homozygous bay mares will produce 100% buckskin foals, by him; heterozygous bay mares, will produce 50% Buckskin/50% Palomino offspring when bred to him.
He will not throw 'blue eyes' with solid colour mares. Only double dilutes (two copies of the cream gene)eg. cremello, perlino have 'blue eyes'
