It depends on what genes the foal gets. You didn't mention what color the horse was before it turned grey, so that makes this difficult to answer. Grey isn't a color gene all its own, its a color modifying gene. Grey horses start out a normal color, and then their coat grows lighter as they mature.
If the grey horse is dominant for grey, the foal will most likely be born a color and change to grey as he ages. If the grey horse is not homozygous for grey, then the foal has a 50-50 chance of being grey.

∙ 13y ago///Grey and chestnut are both dominant colors. Depending on the ancestry it could be about a 50/50 chance for either colors.
It all depends on the genes of the horses..

If a black horse and a chestnut horse bred together what colour would the foal be?
You would get a Black Foal since the coat colour Black is more dominent than Chestnut!
What foal will you get when you mix black and chestnut on Howrse?
The colour of a foal dpends on the colour genotypes of the parents. A horse has dominant and recessive colour genes. The mix of these in the parents is what determines the colour of the foal. The coat is not always an indication of the colour genes that a horse has. In some breeds, certain colour genes have become established and dominant, such as in the chestnut Suffolk Punch draft horse.
What will the color of the foal be if the mare is gray and the stallion red?
Its depending on the mare's color before it turned gray! And on the dominant genes. But these colors can be possible: - Chestnut/Sorrel/Red Mare (Before it turned gray) 50% Chestnut that goes gray 50% Chestnut that stays chestnut - Bay mare (Before it turned gray) 29.17% Gray out of bay 29.17% Bay 16.67% Gray out of chestnut 16.67% Chestnut 4.17% Gray out of Black 4.17% Black - Black Mare (Before it turned gray) 16.67% Gray out of Black 16.67% Gray out of Bay 16.67% Black 16.67% Bay 16.67% Gray out of chestnut 16.67% Chestnut
Can a chestnut mare breed to a buckskin stallion produce a buckskin foal?
Whatever colour either of the parents are the foal could be, and it could just be any random colour, but the most common is the colour of either of the parents.
What color foal do you get when you breed a chestnut mare to a red roan?
You are likely to get a chestnuty/bay colour I think.
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 do you get when you breed an gray horse wiht a gray?
It varies with the horse, but generally you will get a dark grey colt or filly. This is because the genes of the darker horse will make your foal a darker colour but the lighter of the pair kepps the colour from becoming completely black. Example: Cremello Stallion x Chestnut Mare = Either buckskin or palomino.
What color foal would be produced by a black stud and line back dun mare?
Depending on the exact genes of both parents, the foal could be: Black Chestnut Bay The foal may also be a dun The foal cannot be gray because a gray foal must have one gray parent. Probably a dark dun or a black or a grey but it sometimes depends on the mother and farther's parents.
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.
What colour foal would you get if you bred a gray stallion and a black mare?
i got a cherry bay coat color Gray is independent of base coat color. If the stallion is heterozygous for grey there is a 50% chance that the foal will be gray. If the stallion is homozygous for grey the foal will be gray. If the stallion has only one gray parent then he is heterozygous. That being said, the base coat color of a gray/color of a non-gray foal can be partially extrapolated from the parents/grandparents/great grandparents.
What color do you get when you breed a gray horse with a chestnut?
It could be chestnut, flaxen chestnut, bay, or black, because it's unknown whether the bay is heterozygous or homozygous for black and agouti and whether the chestnut has any agouti genes. Bay is most likely. If you google 'horse gene calculator', you get a good site that predicts foal outcomes.
Can a white mare bred to a buckskin produce a buckskin baby?
Yes, if "white" means gray...there would be a 50% chance of any foal produced having the gray gene. Whether the foal will be chestnut, buckskin, bay or palomino will hinge on the genetics of the mare. If "white" means maximum expression sabino...then there is a white component that is independant of the possible colors. Again the foal could be chestnut, buckskin, palomino or bay will hinge on the genetics of the mare.
