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 :)

∙ 11y agoIt really depends on the stallion.
The stallion is XXee as we do not know what alleles are present at the agouti site...some research of the colors of his parents and grandparents may yield information of the possible alleles present at the stallion's agouti site.
If the mare is aaEe then there is a 50% chance that the foal will be chestnut.
If the mare is aaEE or passes on her E allele the foal will not be chestnut.
The color of a non-chestnut foal will be determined by the genetics of the stallion as the true black (a) allele is recessive to any other allele at the agouti site lwhether it
is + (wild type bay), A (bay), At (brown) or a (black).

∙ 11y agoNot knowing if the mare is homozygous EE (for black trait) or heterozygous Ee and not knowing if the sire carries the Agouti gene or not... You have equal chance for a foal being Bay, Chestnut, Buckskin, Palomino, Black, or Smokey Black.
If you know the mare is heterozygous (if she has ever had a foal that was not black), then your odds are about 25% chance Palomino foal, 25% chance Chestnut.
Here is some additional information:
The stallion is XXeeCrcr (XX meaning that his genetics is unknown at the agouti site) Research of the colors of the stallion's parents/grandparents may allow breeder to make a fairly accurate assessement of his genetics at the agouti site.
The mare is aaEe or aaEE
If the mare is aaEE the foal could be black, smokey black, buckskin, bay or brown depending on the genetics of the stallion at the agouti site.
If the mare is aaEe the resulting foal has a 25% chance of chestnut, 25% chance of palomino, 25% chance of (bay, black, brown depending on alleles present at the stallion's agouti site and a 25% chance of buckskin or smokey black.

∙ 12y agoif you put a chestnut to a palomino you will get either palomino or chestnut that's all as both horses and homozygous for the red gene, the only diffrent between them is the palomino has one creme gene meaning its heterozygous so your chances of the palomino pass the creme gene on are 50/50 , if you put a cremello to a chestnut you can only get palomino because there are both homozygous red and the cremello is homozygous creme meaning he has to pass a creme gene on hope this helps.

∙ 11y agoRealize that gray is independant from base color. A chestnut mare bred to a stallion who was born chestnut himself and only had one gray parent would produce a chestnut foal with this mare with a 50% chance that the foal would
become gray over time.
If the stallion is homozygous for not chestnut EE the foal will be bay or black or brown based on the stallion and mare's genetics at the Agouti site. Again with a 50% chance of the foal also carrying the dominantt gray allele.
It is an error on the part of most registries that a horse is designated only as grey (or roan for chestnut or bay greys with TJC for Thoroughbreds).
Obviously if the stallion is homozygous for gray...all foals produced will turn gray over time no matter their initial base color.

What color will you get if you have a grey stallion and a palomino mare?
This depends greatly on what color the stallion was before he greyed out. Grey is simply a modifying gene that causes the base color of a horse to loose pigment and become white with age, it's not an actual color itself. That said the foal would likely inherit one copy of the cream gene from the palomino dam, so would likely be some kind of dilute color and depending on the stallions grey status either heterozygous or homozygous he would have a 50% to 100% chance of going grey.
What color foal do you get when you breed a chestnut horse and a palomino horse?
You could get either a palomino or a chestnut. Since a palomino is a diluted chestnut, and a chestnut has no dilution genes, it will balance out the foal's genes so that it could be either color! Good Luck!
What colors make a palomino?
Palomino is a single cream dilution of the red gene. This means that a chestnut (Red based) horse inherited one copy of the cream gene and the color was diluted to palomino, whereas two copies would turn a chestnut into a cremello.
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.
What color will you get if you breed a buckskin paint stallion to a sorrel mare?
well horses arent like people usually. they tend to be one color for example the dad could be black and the mom could be buckskin so the horse probably wont be a mixture it will either be black or buckskin. NOT MIXED
What coat color can you get out of a chestnut mare and a palomino horse?
It depends on whether the stallion or mare is homogeneous for a certain color gene. You could have many possibilities, but a logical predication would be either palomino, chestnut, white, or bay. (Bay and chestnut being the two most common horse colors.)

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 is the palomino horses predotor?
Since palomino is a color and not a true breed, the predators would vary slightly depending on the horses location. Palomino is a chestnut horse that inherited one copy of the cream gene and was born palomino. That means that palomino horses can occur in any breed with both chestnut and cream colored horses. In most areas a horses predators are dogs/ wolves, big cats, bears, and humans.
If a palomino mare gets a chestnut foal what father does the foal have?
It would all depend. The foal could have any color father. He could be black, and if one of more of his parents what chestnut, and the same thing with the mother, then the foal could be chestnut, but the most likely thing would be that the father is chestnut.
If a buckskin mare gets a palomino foal what father does the foal have?
Most likely would be cremello, palomino, chestnut (sorrel) or another buckskin.
What color do you get when you breed a palomino horse to grey horse?
The easiest way to breed a palomino is to cross a chestnut with a cremello. A Palomino will result every time. A palomino is a chestnut horse with a dilution that turns the chestnut to gold. You have a 50% chance of palomino when breeding a chestnut to a palomino. You have much smaller chance breeding a bay or other colored horse to a palomino. You have a 50% chance of palomino breeding a bay to a cremello.
Is chestnut a color or horse breed?
Cherry Chestnut would be a lighter chestnut then the red chestnut but they both basicly are the same.
What color will the foal be out of a black stallion breed to a palomino mare?
A dark brown horse. Possibly black. Possibly something with patches of the other color. According to a nifty foal color calulator that you can find a link to in the related links, the foal has a 70% chance of being bay, 24% chance of being black and a 7% chance of being chestnut.
What happens when you breed a palomino with a palomino?
This will vary according to exact genetics but you would have a 50% chance or grater of getting a Grey horse and a 50% or less chance at one of the following colors: Buckskin, Bay, Chestnut, Black, Palomino, Smoky Black.
