The typical Thoroughbred ranges from 15.2 to 17.0 hands (62 to 68 inches, 157 to 173 cm) high, averaging 16 hands (64 inches, 163 cm). They are most often bay, dark bay or brown, chestnut, black, or gray. Less common colors recognized in the United States include roan and palomino.The cream dilution gene has been present in the Thoroughbred breed since the very beginning. The gene is not found in the Arabian gene pool, so it most likely was introduced through native mares and "Turk" imports (ancestors of the modern Akhal Teke). Most buckskin or palomino Thoroughbreds were listed as "dun" in the early stud books, though the portraits made of some of the more famous of these horses clearly show them to be cream dilutes.
