An individual Thoroughbred cannot have more than two different alleles for each gene locus, one on each chromosome.

How many alleles are available at a certain gene locus is variable based on what the gene controls and how many alleles are available and their frequency in the population.

Two horses with identical genes can be called?

Depending on how they got identical genes, they may be clones (if it was done artificially, and they were born at different times), or if they were born at the same time, they could be identical twins. However, I don't think horses ever have twins.

What are the two main colour genes for a horse?

Bay (light, dark...) and Grey (looks white) Actually, the two main color genes for horses is chestnut (red) and black. All horses- regardless of what other genes they have (creme, roan, etc.)- are either chestnut (red) or black at their base color. Not bay and grey. You can see the site in the related links explains all about the base colors, and what modifies them into other colors, like bay or grey. It says Morgan horses, but it goes for all breeds.
