Which type of horse typically has a cream-colored coat with blue eyes?

The correct choice is the Cremello horse, which is known for its unique cream-colored coat and striking blue eyes. This coat color is the result of a specific genetic variation called the “cremello” gene, which affects the pigmentation and results in a light cream color often with pink skin and blue eyes.

Cremello horses are essentially double-dilute chestnuts, meaning they carry two copies of the cream gene that lightens the coat color. This distinct appearance sets them apart from other breeds that may have similar coat colors but do not share the same genetic background or the characteristic blue eyes.

In contrast, gray horses can have a variety of colors and may also eventually turn white as they age, but they do not consistently have a cream-colored coat or blue eyes. Dun horses typically have a tan or yellow coat with a darker dorsal stripe, while Appaloosa horses are known for their spotted coats that can come in various colors but do not specifically exhibit the cream coloration or blue eyes associated with Cremellos.
