What color horse will you get if you breed a strawberry roan stallion with a blue roan mare?

If either horse is homozygous for roan the foal will be roan, if both are heterozygous there is a 75% chance that the foal will be roan. If by strawberry roan you mean the stallion is a bay roan as opposed to a chestnut roan, we can surmise that the stallion is Rn-A-E- The mare is Rn-aaE- The base color of the foal, without regard to whether it is roan is as follows If the stallion or mare is EE at the extension site they will produce either a bay or black foal...since the stallion is bay he could be AA (only bay foals) or Aa which will produce 50-50 bay or black with this mare. If both the mare and the stallion are Ee at the extension site there is a 25% chance of a chestnut foal.


If you bred a palomino mare to a chestnut stallion what color foal would you get?

Usually the darker color will dominate. But sometimes the genes of the parents can overpower the darker color. You really can not be sure. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It really depends on whether the black horse is homozygous (EE) or heterozygous (Ee). Horses are born with a base color from each parent. E represents black and e represents red. Black is dominate over red. If you get two red genes (ee) you always end up with a chestnut. If you get one or two black genes (Ee/EE) you end up with a black horse as long as you don't have agouti (A-Bay). So if you have a black horse with Ee bred to a chestnut horse ee, you have a 50/50 chance of getting a chestnut. If you breed a black horse with EE to a chestnut horse ee, you have a 100% chance of a black horse because they black (E) gene is dominate. Hope that clarifies it :) Fuangel29


Bred a sorrel and white mare to a black and white stud?

The type of white pattern is not mentioned here...for the sake of simplicity I will assume that the stallion and mare are Tobiano for the first example. Stallion aaE-Toto or aaE-ToTo Mare --eeToto or --eeToTo (genetics of mare at agouti site is unknown and may be determined to some degree by looking at the colors of the parents and grand parents. If either the stallion or the mare is ToTo (homozygous for tobiano) 100% of the foals will be Tobiano and 50% of the foals from this mating will be homozygous for Tobiano. If the Stallion is Ee at the extension site 50% of the foals will be chestnut. If the Stallion is EE at the extension site there will be no chestnut foals. The genetics of the mare at the agouti site will determine the color of any foals that are Ee or EE at the extension site. Since the stallion is black: aa he can only pass the a allele to his offspring. If the mare carries the a allele, 50% of the foals will be black.


Can a buckskin mare and a chestnut stallion produce a buckskin foal?

Usually the darker color will be dominant in horses. BUT... sometimes the horses genes will override this color dominance. It is a sort of wait and see with horses. It all depends on the genes that the parents carry. If there is a bay (brown with black mane/tail/legs) in either the mother or the father's genes, it is possible to produce a buckskin. The special thing about palominos is that the cream gene (that makes them that gorgeous gold colour) is a dominant gene. That means you only need one copy of that gene for it to influence the outcome of the offspring. Think of it like a dilution. A chestnut horse bred to a cream/cremello or (anything carrying the cream gene) will most likely produce a palomino foal. A bay bred to cream gene carrier will most likely produce a buckskin. A black bred to a cream gene carrier will most likely produce a smoky black. However, with all these cases, there are exceptions. If the mother or the father has a bay parent or grandparent, or the father has a buckskin parent or grandparent (because, remember, the cream gene is dominant, so if the mother isn't palomino/buckskin/smoky black, she won't have the crema gene in her lineage), and remnants of those genes have been carried forward into the mare or stallion, there is a chance you'll have a buckskin foal. Yes, it is very confusing ^^ This is a really good site to check out what colour foal you'll get from what colour parents: http://www.animalgenetics.us/CCalculator1.asp


Where are most black stallions found?

First of all BLACK is a color and is a recessive color meaning either both parents are black or both carry rhe recessive black gene. Stallion is a SEX- it means uncastrated male, able to breed a mare and impregnate her. As an Arabian breeder and judge I was getting a lot of questions about black stallion as most people think a black horse IS a stallion! There are as many black mares and gelding in and breed . Black as a color is not biologically an advantage for horses in the wild, in colder climates in the winter they show up against the snow pretty well, and in hot climates really dark horses like a black absorb more of the suns light and are hotter. So course some color breeds like the palomino and buckskin do not allow blacks to be registered. In the Arabian breed anout 1-2% are born as true blacks (not a black bay) In the movie and books "The Black Stallion by Waler Farley the "Black" is a desert born Arabian and a member of the oldest recorded breed in the world. Bedouins prize horses highly and know their family tree better than their own.

What colour would a foal to a buckskin stallion and black mare be?

Palomino Stallion --eeCrcr (the two -- are the unknown alleles at the Agouti site) Black Mare aaEe or aaEE (we will assume that the mare is not a smokey black which is a black horse carrying the creme gene). If either of the mare's parents is a chestnut her genetic makeup is aaEe which will simplify the choices. If either of the stallion's parents was a bay/buckskin (or both parents were bay based ) he will have the possibility of carrying the A allele. If the mare is aaEE no palomino or chestnut foal can be produced. If the stallion is aaeeCrcr 50% chance the foal will be black and 50% chance it will be smokey black. If the stallion is AaeeCrcr then there is a 25% chance the foal will be bay, 25% black, 25% smokey black, 25% buckskin. If the stallion is AAeeCrcr 50% buckskin and 50% bay If the mare is aaEe and the stallion is aaeeCr- the chances are 25% chestnut, 25% palomino, 25% black and 25% smokey black If the mare is aaEe and the stallion is AaeeCrcr the chances are 25% chestnut 25% palomino, 12.5% black, 12.5% bay, 12.5% smokey black, 12.5% buckskin. If the mare is aaEe and the stallion is AAee Crcr 25% palomino, 25% chestnut, 25% buckskin, 25% bay. Lots of possibilities here, always with a 50% chance of the foal with the Creme dilution. Unfortunatley, if the stallion carries a black allele or two black alleles your Creme dilutes will have a high probability of being smokey black which is often hard to tell from black.


What color will the foal be from a black mare and a black stallion?

Most likely black, however, if they are not homozygous for black, the foal has a small chance of being chestnut. If the stallion and mare are both aaEE all foals will be black. If one parent is aaEe and the other is aaEE all foals will be black. If both parents are aaEe there is a 75% chance that the foal will be black and a 25% chance of a chestnut foal.

im pretty sure the black stallion was a mixed breed that was part arab well this answer was only partly correct. the black stallion's dam was a pure arabin his sire was The Dark Horse (the dark horse nebula) born of sky and stars :) hope this helps :) in the book he was probably a Thoroughbred X Arabian in the movie he was an Arabian


What colour foal will you get out of a solid black mare and a chestnut and white overo paint stallion who apparently throws back to dams colour?

So an Overo stallion can only pass his spotting pattern 50% of the time which gives the breeder a 50% chance of an Overo foal in this breeding scenario. The mare is either aaEe or aaEE If she is aaEE she cannot produce a chestnut. If she is aaEe bred to a chestnut stallion there is a 50% probability of a chestnut foal. The stallion's genetic makeup at the agouti site will determine what the color of the foal if the foal inherits E from the dam (since the mare is recessive at the agouti site).. The statement that the stallion throws back to the dam's color may be an indicator that he is recessive at the agouti site (making him aaee) If this is the case this particular breeding would produce a black foal (which would make the throws back to the dam's color "true"). Bred to bay, brown mares the foals would also "tend" to produce foals colored like the dams especially if they don't carry e at the extension site.


What color coalt would you get if you crossed a sorrel mare to a black stallion?

The foal could be a number of colors. Based on the description the stallion is either aaEe or aaEE. The mare is --ee (as her genetics at the agouti site is unknown). Research on the color of her parents and grandparents may be an indicator of the alleles at the agouti site. If the stallion is aaEe there is a 50% chance that the foal will be chestnut/sorrel. If the stallion is aaEE there will be no possibility of chestnut, however the resulting foal will be determined by the alleles that the mare has at the agouti site...which are currently unknown. If she has a single black parent, there is a 50% chance that the foal will be black (if the stallion is aaEE and a 25% chance of a black foal if the stallion is aaEe. Since black true black at the agouti site is homozygous recessive...it will be the mare's genetics at the agouti site that will determine the color of any non-chestnut foal.


What color will you get if you breed a black and white paint mare to a cremello stud?

If the black and white mare is aaEe and bred to a cremello stallion --eeCrCr the foal produced will be smokey black, buckskin, palomino based on the stallion's genetics at the Agouti site. If the mare is aaEE the foal will be smokey black, buckskin...no palomino foals. The type(s) of pattern genetics the mare carries will determine the spotting pattern of the foal (or lack there of).
