Sable champagne is the Champagne gene on a seal brown base; therefore, it sometimes does not differ much from classic champagne color. The most common body color of a sable champagne horse is chocolate (of any intensity) with an ashy to dark or bronze shade (Photo 68). The guard hair is dark brown or chocolate; the lower part of the legs and ear rims often the same. For sable champagne horses that look similar to classic champagne, reliable distinction between them is ­possible via DNA analysis.
