I have a registered Cremello she is turning seven years old, her eyes are blue but on the outside they have greenish splashes in her eyes. It seems like her eyes are turning green. I heard that Cremellos have blue eyes but her eyes are weird. Anyone ever heard of this?
Yes, all cremellos have blue eyes.

That article tells you how to tell if your horse is champagne in the last paragraph. I'm willing to bet that's what yours is. Champagne horses are born with blue eyes, and they turn either green or amber as they get older. There are a lot of different shades of champagne, and the lighter shade (ivory champagne) is sometimes confused with cremello. Here's a link about the champagne gene:

If you REALLY want to know, you can have your horse tested for the creme gene. If she doesn't have the creme gene, she has to be champagne.

I have read about green eyed cremellos, I actually read about it in a magazine called 'horse-canada' in the nov/dec 2008 issue.

GREEN-EYED HORSE FOUND!
In the responce to a quary published in the July/Aug Readers Arena about a green eyed horses, a reader has responded;
Here's what the reader wrote:
'I have a gorgeous green eyed cremello mare. She has the champagne gene and is a wonderful mother'.
Then it has her pic. and at the bottom of the pic it says;
The mare is likely genetically Cremello/Champagne making her colour 'Ivory'. According to information we found on interent sites about colour genetics, Ivory horses have greenish eyes/
The Champagne gene is quite rare.

Having blue eyes is part of what makes cremellos, cremellos. Horses can't have green eyes, so her eyes are I guess a more turquoise blue than ice blue.
Most of the ones I've seen have had weird colored eyes ranging from blue to greenish brown to amber but always light colored.
i have a cremello her name is grace and she has kind of clear eyes with light green in them so no not all cremellos have blue eyes cremellos are kind of special and anything can happen
my horse GRACE!!!!!!
