No, If the stallion is a true Chestnut this is not possible.

Because you would need to breed two horses together that carry at least 1 cream gene each.

The Perlino has 2 cream genes and so will give her offspring one cream gene 100% of the time but the chestnut does not have one. The possible outcome of the resulting foal would be one of three colors, depending on the genetic makeup of each horse, A Palomino, A Buckskin, or possibly a Smoky black.

It is easier to understand basic horse color genetics if you think of horses as three basic colors; Black, Bay and Chestnut. All other colors including gray being a modification of those three.(There are studies being done regarding Brown but this would really confuse this issue) In order to breed a Perlino you must understand what a Perlino is genetically. A perlino is a double dilute of a Bay. A Bay horse carrying 2 cream genes that modifies it's body color. A bay horse that carries 1 dilute or cream gene would be Buckskin.

Therefore we can go further and say a Cremello is a double dilute of a Chestnut horse (chestnut that carries 2 cream genes). A Chestnut that carries 1 dilute/cream gene would be palomino.

A Smoky Cream is a black horse that carries 2 dilution/cream genes. A Black that carries 1 would be smoky black (looks like a black bay typically)

Today there are labs that will give you the genetic color of your horse for a nominal fee (around $50) From this information you can judge with a great level of certainty what colors are possible from that horse when bred to other horses. One such lab is UC Davis. There are many articles on the web that can go even further into color genetics. Breaking the horse's color down into Agouti and Extension genotypes. With some practice and basic understanding of this genetic formula for horse coat color, breeders can know instead of guess the possible colors of the foals they produce. This has been an invaluable tool to breeding colorful horses.

What do you breed a sorrel to to get a buckskin?

Find a Perlino Stallion who is genetically AAEECrCr and the breeding will produce 100% buckskin foals no matter the genetics of the mare. If the stallion is AaEeCrCr or AAEeCrCr the foal could be a palomino. The chestnut mare could be aaee, Aaee or AAee combinations with a stallion who has Aa genetics where the mare is aa or Aa at the Agouti site could produce a smokey black.

My paint mare just mated with by a solid chestnut stallion so I was wondering what percent chance is there that the foal will be a paint?

This depends on the DNA characteristics. If your mare or the stallion is homogeyous for a colour or pattern, then that will likely show up in the foal.


Can a chestnut Arabian mare bred to a black Arabian stallion produce a grey foal?

Yes, it is possible for a chestnut Arabian mare bred to a black Arabian stallion to produce a grey foal. If either the mare or stallion carry the gene for greying, there is a chance that the foal may inherit this gene and develop a grey coat color as it matures.


Can a chestnut mare breed to a buckskin stallion produce a buckskin foal?

Yes, it is possible for a chestnut mare bred to a buckskin stallion to produce a buckskin foal. The genetics of the mare and stallion can combine in a way that results in a foal with the buckskin coat color, which is determined by the presence of the cream gene.


What color will you get if you breed a black and white paint mare to a cremello stud?

If the black and white mare is aaEe and bred to a cremello stallion --eeCrCr the foal produced will be smokey black, buckskin, palomino based on the stallion's genetics at the Agouti site. If the mare is aaEE the foal will be smokey black, buckskin...no palomino foals. The type(s) of pattern genetics the mare carries will determine the spotting pattern of the foal (or lack there of).


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


What colour would a foal to a buckskin stallion and black mare be?

Palomino Stallion --eeCrcr (the two -- are the unknown alleles at the Agouti site) Black Mare aaEe or aaEE (we will assume that the mare is not a smokey black which is a black horse carrying the creme gene). If either of the mare's parents is a chestnut her genetic makeup is aaEe which will simplify the choices. If either of the stallion's parents was a bay/buckskin (or both parents were bay based ) he will have the possibility of carrying the A allele. If the mare is aaEE no palomino or chestnut foal can be produced. If the stallion is aaeeCrcr 50% chance the foal will be black and 50% chance it will be smokey black. If the stallion is AaeeCrcr then there is a 25% chance the foal will be bay, 25% black, 25% smokey black, 25% buckskin. If the stallion is AAeeCrcr 50% buckskin and 50% bay If the mare is aaEe and the stallion is aaeeCr- the chances are 25% chestnut, 25% palomino, 25% black and 25% smokey black If the mare is aaEe and the stallion is AaeeCrcr the chances are 25% chestnut 25% palomino, 12.5% black, 12.5% bay, 12.5% smokey black, 12.5% buckskin. If the mare is aaEe and the stallion is AAee Crcr 25% palomino, 25% chestnut, 25% buckskin, 25% bay. Lots of possibilities here, always with a 50% chance of the foal with the Creme dilution. Unfortunatley, if the stallion carries a black allele or two black alleles your Creme dilutes will have a high probability of being smokey black which is often hard to tell from black.


What coat color can you get out of a chestnut mare and a palomino horse?

It depends on whether the stallion or mare is homogeneous for a certain color gene. You could have many possibilities, but a logical predication would be either palomino, chestnut, white, or bay. (Bay and chestnut being the two most common horse colors.)


What color coalt would you get if you crossed a sorrel mare to a black stallion?

The foal could be a number of colors. Based on the description the stallion is either aaEe or aaEE. The mare is --ee (as her genetics at the agouti site is unknown). Research on the color of her parents and grandparents may be an indicator of the alleles at the agouti site. If the stallion is aaEe there is a 50% chance that the foal will be chestnut/sorrel. If the stallion is aaEE there will be no possibility of chestnut, however the resulting foal will be determined by the alleles that the mare has at the agouti site...which are currently unknown. If she has a single black parent, there is a 50% chance that the foal will be black (if the stallion is aaEE and a 25% chance of a black foal if the stallion is aaEe. Since black true black at the agouti site is homozygous recessive...it will be the mare's genetics at the agouti site that will determine the color of any non-chestnut foal.
