Buckskins result from one cream gene on a bay horse. They can vary in shade from a very pale buttermilk through a very sooty, dark brown color. Buckskins with countershading (darker color along the topline) often have heavy dappling and a dorsal stripe. They can be mistaken for duns if they have a dorsal, or for browns if they are very dark.

The cream gene is dominant, so a buckskin must have a cream dilute parent.
