Is it possible to have purebred palominos?

Palomino isn't a breed of horse, it is a colour. Answer 2: As stated above Palomino is a color, not a breed. The Palomino horse registries are color registries, not breed associations. You get Palomino coloring by breeding a horse with the cream gene to a chestnut and you should get a palomino. Any breed that carries both the cream and chestnut colorings can produce a palomino.

What color horse would you get if you breed a chestnut horse with a black horse?

The black horse's genetics is either aaEe or aaEE. If the Black horse is aaEE the foal cannot be chestnut. If the black horse is aaEe there is a 50% chance of the foal being chestnut. The possible colors for any non chestnut foal will be based on the genetics of the chestnut horse at the Agouti site. if the chestnut horse is aa any non chestnut foal will be black if the chestnut horse is Aa there is a 50% chance of a bay foal and a 50% chance of a black foal. if the chestnut horse is AA any non-chestnut foal will be bay.


What color horse will you get if you breed a black horse with a chestnut horse?

It depends on the horse's genetics. Chestnut is recessive to black, therefore a chestnut horse always carries two chestnut genes but a black horse could be carrying two black genes OR a black and a chestnut, but the black is dominant therefore the horse has a black coat. Think of it as the black coat always sits 'on top' of the chestnut coat so if a horse has a black gene it will always show up but chestnut will only show up if there are no black genes at all. If you breed a homozygous dominant (two black genes) black horse to a chestnut, the foal will always be heterozygous dominant black. (One black gene and one chestnut gene) If you breed a heterozygous dominant (one black one chestnut) black horse to a chestnut, the foal has a 50% chance of being heterozygous dominant black and a 50% chance of being homozygous recessive chestnut. (two red genes) If you have no idea what your black horse's color genes are, think of it as having a 75% chance of a black foal, 25% chance of a chestnut foal.
