Here are some web sites (if I am allowed to post them? if not sorry)

The Cremello Gene « Caring For Your Horse
Cremello - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Breeding for Color - General Discussion (Horse Related) - General Discussion - Fugly Horse of the Day! - Message Board - Yuku

I don't know if that answers your questions... there is some controversy over weather they are actually as a whole more sensitive or if it is just individuals.

btw Haven looks so cute!! she is getting big fast!!
