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.
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.
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 color colt do you get when you breed a chestnut with a brown?
Well first off colt is a male and Filly is a female...foal is a baby horse. So if you breed a chestnut to a brown horse you would likely get the following chances. 58.34% bay/brown, 33.33% chestnut, and 8.33% black.
What color horse would you get if you breed a white stud to a chestnut filly?
White
What color is a Giara horse?
The Giara horse mostly comes in Bay, Chestnut and black.
Is there a horse that is just black?
The Friesian horse typically only comes in black and that is the only allowed color in the registry. But they can very rarely come in what the association calls 'red' which would be chestnut, but these are rare and not allowed to breed.
What color is a Caspian Horse?
They are traditionally bay, grey, chestnut, or black.
Is coat colour a quantitative trait?
With enough genetic information a specific coat color could be quantified, but the trait is qualitative in as much as it can be described but not truly measured. For example. Horse aaEE is black as is horse aaEe however horse aaEe is blue black and horse aaEE is black. While another horse aaEE is blue black and Another aaEe horse is black. Any horse ee is chestnut...but there is liver chestnut, red chestnut, orange chestnut sorrel, et cetera. A quantitative analysis may yield the results of gene frequency in a population or the specific number of individuals in a breed that are a specific color...but the full spectrum of color variation will not be addressed by a quantitative approach.
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.
Which breed of horse is black but turns white when it gets older?
No breed of horse is exclusively black, there is one breed, the Friesian that comes in mainly black, but they also carry the gene to express red (chestnut.)The Extension gene is responsible for black and red pigment. If a horse is Homozygous (dominate) for black then it will have EE, if the horse is Heterozygous (recessive) for black it will be ee and will be chestnut in color. It is also possible for a horse to be Ee, that means it carries one copy each of black and red and can pass either one of those along resulting in either black or chestnut foals if paired with another horse that is Ee or ee.
What color horse will you get if you breed a chestnut leopard appaloosa stallion to a solid with white blaze and socks chestnut paint mare?
an old one
