you will get almost any colour because your horses colour is not determined by the colour of it' s parents. you can have two chestnut horses that breed to make a bay foal. unless the horse is bred to be a specific colour, like the Cleavland Bay breed. the foals colour all depends on its genetic material.

Can a buckskin mare bred to a chestnut produce a gray baby?
This sounds unlikely to me.A chestnut horse does not have any dilution genes in its coat. A chestnut with one dilution gene is a palomino, and with two dilution genes is a cremello.A bay horse (non dilute) with one dilution gene produces a buckskin, and a second dilution gene produces a perlino.If you breed together a non-dilute horse and a double dilute, you will always get the horse with one dilution gene. So if you breed a cremello to a chestnut you will always get a palomino, and if you breed a bay to a perlino you will always get a buckskin. As far as I know, if you breed a chestnut to a perlino or a bay to a cremello you will have a 50/50 chance of palomino or buckskin.When you breed a chestnut and a buckskin one dilution gene is in play, from the mother who has it. The baby may inherit it or not. If the foal inherits the dilute gene it will be a buckskin or a palomino. If it does not inherit the dilution gene it will be chestnut or bay. In the diagram below, D is a non-dilute gene, while the lowercase d is a dilute.MOTHER - buckskin DdFATHER - chestnut DDFOAL: Possible combinationsDD (First gene from each parent), DD (First gene from mother, second gene from father), Dd (Second gene from mother, first gene from father), Dd (Second gene from each parent)So this combination has a 50/50 chance of producing a dilute or a non-dilute.The foal has a 25% chance of being each of these colours: Chestnut, bay, palomino, buckskin.You must account for the variation in the shade of the coat also. If you get a very pale palomino, this can be similar in appearance to a very light grey horse. However, its genetics tell the real story. A grey horse is a single dilution gene on a black horse, with a double dilute of black being a colour known as 'smokey cream' which is indistinguishable from cremello and perlino. Many people think smokey cream, cremello and perlino horses are albino, but the true albino gene is fatal, with the foal aborting, being stillborn or dying a few days after birth.If you bred your buckskin mare to a black stallion, you may get a grey baby, but there would only be a 25% chance once again, the foal could be bay, buckskin, black or grey. If you bred to a grey stallion, two dilution genes come into play and the foal would have a 50% chance of being either grey or buckskin, 25% of being black or bay, and 25% of being smokey cream or perlino. (Replace coat colours for breeding a buckskin to a palomino).Answer 2:Grey is a dominant gene so one parent would have to be grey...no grey no possibility of a grey foal.Keep in mind that the grey color is independent of the base coat colors...a grey foal generally has anywhere from a few to many white hairs in it's coat at birthif it has the grey gene, barring that they show up around the eyes and or base of the ears when the foal begins to shed it's foal coat.
What is the color of a foal from a sorrell mare and a buckskin stud?
Sorrel Mare would be --ee (-- is unknown genetics at the agouti site and ee is homozygous recessive at the extension site. Buckskin Stallion is A-E-Crcr or A-EECrcr. Since the e allele is generally at a very high frequency in most horse populations we'll assume that the stallion is A-EeCrcr. 50% of all foals will be red based, either palomino or sorrel 50% of all foals will be non-red based, either bay or buckskin
A perlino horse has two cream alleles on what base color?
bay
What color is a Caspian Horse?
They are traditionally bay, grey, chestnut, or black.
What common horse color consists of a black mane and tail and black legs and a medium brown body?
this colour is called bay This colour is called bay. A bay horse always has a black mane and tail but may also have black 'points' meaning black ears, legs and often a darker muzzle. The body may range from a fawn colour (very light is called buckskin, not bay) to almost black.BlackChestnutSorrelBayDunRed DunGrullaPalominoBuckskinCremelloPerlinoSilver DappleGreyRoanRabicanoTobianoOveroSabinoGray (White with grey hairs)Varous appaloosa patterns
Can you breed a buckskin stalllion and a paint mare and get a buckskin paint?
Well possibly, this would mainly depend on the color of the mare. Buckskin is a dilute color and will dilute the base color of a horse (Bay + Cream= buckskin etc,).
If you give a bay horse one cream gene what color will his coat turn into?
Buckskin
How did buckskin color on a horse come about?
A buckskin gets it's coloring from the cream gene (Cr), a bay horse with a Cr gene is a buckskin. A bay itself is a modification of the black coat color gene (Ee or EE) with the agouti gene (A), which limits the back color to the legs/tail/mane and allowing the red pigment (e) to show. The Cr gene lightens the red pigment into the well known buckskin color.
Is a buckskin a horse breed or a color?
There's no way to guarantee that any two horses will produce a buckskin, to the best of my knowledge. To produce a buckskin, however, at least one parent must carry the cream gene. The cream gene is responsible for lightening a bay horse into buckskin, and it is also what causes palomino and other colors. If you breed two smokey black (black with one cream gene) horses, you cannot get a buckskin. Likewise, if you breed two palomino horses, or one palomino and one chestnut, you will not get a buckskin.
Where did buckskin come from?
If you mean Buckskin the horse color, then it came about through the cream dilution gene acting on a bay or black horse. The cream gene affects the body color of the horse giving it a 'washed out' appearance. In the single form cream will not typically affect the black coloring on a bay horse leaving the points dark, but will dilute the body color. In it's double form Cream will usually affect the black points as well.
What crosses produce a buckskin foal?
Typically a cremello or palomino crossed to a bay or black horse will produce a buckskin foal.
What is there to know about buckskins?
Buckskin is strictly a color, not a breed. Some interesting facts about the color itself: 1: Buckskin is created by a single copy of the cream gene acting on a bay base color. 2: There is a color registry for buckskin colored horses. 3: An old wives tale states that buckskin colored horses are tougher than other colored horses (untrue but fun to know). 4: Buckskin is often confused with Dun, they are separate genes. 5: Buckskin can range from a very pale washed out color known as buttermilk to an almost black color with sooty dapples. 6: Any breed that posses both bay and cream genes can create a buckskin colored horse.
What do you get from buckskin and pinto?
The foal resulting from breeding a buckskin horse and a pinto could have many coat color and pattern possibilities. It would depend on the base color making up the buckskin, and on which pattern(s) the pinto had. It will also depend on the base color of the pinto horse, since pinto is only one part of the coloration.Since the base color of the pinto isn't given, there is no way to truly map out the color possibilities. From the buckskin, you have a fifty percent chance of getting the cream gene, which is about the only think that can be narrowed down. The horse might be homozygous for black or agouti, meaning you would always have a bay-based horse. All of the other factors have to be considered in.Basically, you might get black, you might get bay, or buckskin, half might be pinto. The rest of this vast layout of possibilities depends on the exact genetic makeup of both parents.
What would you get if you bred a buckskin to a palomino?
A buckskin horse carries three important colour genes: the black gene, the agouti gene (which restricts the colour to the points, creating bay) and one dilution gene (changing bay to buckskin). If both the parents are buckskin, the foal is guaranteed to inherit the agouti gene - so it must be bay, buckskin or perlino, which are the agouti colours. It has a 25% chance of not inheriting the dilution gene from either parent. This would produce a bay foal. There is a 50% chance that the foal will inherit the dilution gene from one parent, but not the other - in this case, the foal will be buckskin. The other 25% chance is that the foal inherits the dilution gene from both parents, producing a double dilute. A double dilute over agouti would result in a perlino foal.
Is color of fur most likely an acquired trait in horses?
Coat color is always an acquired trait in horses. For example, if you breed a black horse and a chestnut horse, you can get a black, bay, or chestnut foal, but never a palomino, buckskin, grullo, roan, or any other color.
What are the most 10 common colors of a horse?
I am pretty sure the answer is a bay. That sounds right to me. Maybe chestnut too.
When you add one cream allele to the basic bay coloring what color results?
Buckskin
