The colors of this group (Z) were defined rather recently, at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Understanding the true distribution of these colors is difficult because they are rare, although apparently this dilution is present in quite a few different breeds. Color identification in doubtful cases should be guided in part by whether or not a color has shown to be present in a specific breed. Therefore, I feel it necessary to provide a list of breeds in which the Silver gene occurs at the beginning of our discussion. The list includes the: Rocky Mountain Horse, Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horse, Quarter Horse, American Miniature Horse, Morgan, Appaloosa, Missouri Foxtrotter, Virginia Highlander, Paint Horse, Tennessee Walker, Mustang (particularly those found in Oregon, Nevada, and California), Icelandic Horse, Northlands Pony, Australian Pony, Connemara Pony, Shetland Pony, Swedish Warmblood, Finnish Warmblood, Dutch Warmblood, Gypsy Horse, Welsh Pony, Ardennes, Soviet Heavy Draft, and the Byelorussian Harness Horse. It has been determined by DNA analysis that carriers of the Silver gene were also found in the Haflinger breed, but there isn’t a visible color effect because this breed occurs only in the red (chestnut) color. Remember that Silver Dilute horses and dark flaxen chestnuts can look similar.
