Best Answer

it can be a paint foal

Spots are a part of a horse's DNA. Genetics determine a horse's color, and whether or not it has spots. There are many breeds of horses that can be born with a spotted coat color. Sometimes, two solid colored horse parents can have a spotted baby if one of their close ancestors was spotted or carried the genetics for spots.
