KaetiKvik Green Eyed Filly

My friend Kathy's mare had a little dark gray filly that I had the privilege to name. When I saw her, the baby KaetiKvik had light green eyes (they have since turned brown). So I looked up the genetics of green eyes and horses. Green eyes are among the rarest of eye colors in horses and are associated with the champagne and pearl dilution factors.

Here's a link to Johnny Cash singing about the
Tennessee stud that was "long and lean, the color of the sun and his eyes were green."
