Sampson, a classic champagne stallion, and Joker, a grulla stallion, check each other out prior to a minor territorial scuffle.

Another picture of Goober, this one taken at sunset. He is a Gold Champagne colored horse which is the result of a red colored horse, such as a chestnut or sorrel, bred to a horse carrying the dilute champagne gene. A champagne horse will have freckled pink skin, which can be seen around his mouth, and amber eyes.

Goober is a Gold Champagne Palomino quarter horse. The Gold Champagne color is the result of a breeding of a sorrel (red) horse with a horse that carries the dilute Champagne color gene. Champagne horses  have very distinctive amber eyes and freckled pink skin. This photo was taken when Goober was about 1 ½ years old.
