It's not necessarily which two 'horses' create a blue roan color as Blue roan is just that a color and not a breed, therefore any two horses with the correct genetics can create a foal with blue roan coloring. Roan is a modifying gene that affects a horses base color. A blue roans base color is black. Both parents should be black and one should at least carry the roan gene. If a horse is Heterozygous for roan (Rr) then it has a 50/50 chance of passing along the roan gene. If one of the parents was Homozygous for roan (RR) then it will pass it along 100% of the time. Homozygous roans are hard to find though. However you can increase your odds of getting a blue roan foal by breeding two blue roans together. There used to be an old theory that said breeding two homozygous roans together would cause the fetus to die in -utero, however this has been disproved. Remember color breeding is not an exact science and you can get any number of colors based on the parents genetics. Also breeding strictly for color is typically detrimental to a breed as color can sometimes become favored over correct conformation.

What do you get when you cross two strawberry roan Australian ponies?

Two roans bred together will produce 75% roan foals. Since both these horses are chestnut all foals will be chestnut.


If you breed your red roan with a blue roan what color foal will you get?

A blue roan horse is not actually blue, though they can look blue. They have a mixture of black and white hairs that appear gray or "blue". They differ from gray horses because they are born blue and stay blue their entire lives. A gray horse is born a solid color, but gradually get more and more white hairs until they are completely white. It is sometimes hard to tell a gray horse from a blue roan. One way to tell is to look at the head and around the eyes. In a gray horse, they will go white around the eyes first. A blue roan horse will keep a nearly black head no matter what age they are.


Mare is buckskin and sire is blue roan?

There are several different possibilities, depending on the genetic makeup of the parents. The base possibilities are: chestnut bay black The dilute gene (that makes the mare a buckskin) will give you: palomino buckskin smoky black The roan gene (that makes the sire roan) will give you: red roan bay roan blue roan If both genes are passed on, you get: palomino roan buckskin roan smoky black roan


Do red cows and blue cows make purple cows?

No they don't. Besides, two cows that mate cannot produce offspring. Either one or the other has to be a bull, not another cow. See, cow + bull = calf. Besides, blue cattle don't exist, if you're not including the blue roan colouration. If you are, then a blue-roan cow bred to a red bull would likely produce a black calf, or even a speckled-roan calf. But never a purple calf.

What color is roan?

Roan is a coat color in horses that consists of a mix of white hairs intermingled with colored hairs. The colored hairs can be any base color, such as bay, chestnut, or black. The overall appearance of a roan horse is a blend of the base color and white hairs.


A cross between a horse with red coat and a hourse with a white coat results in a roan horse with both red and white colors?

The actual term for this is refered to as "roaning" but the pattern is not patches but white and colored hair mixed together all over the body. It looks a little like older horses when the hair starts to turn white. Roans come in several different colors. (red roan, blue roan, black roan, ect.)


What are thoroughbred horses?

The Thoroughbred breed has two lines that carry the creme gene. This gene can produce palomino, buckskin, smokey black, cremello and perlino. There are also sabino and overo genetics in Thoroughbreds that produce varying degrees of spotting including horses that are essentially white.In Thoroughbreds the term "roan" refers to horses with the grey gene that have a non-black base coat color. For example: a chestnut foal with the grey gene would be reported as being a roan.True roan color (horses with the Rn gene) do not exist in the United States with a report of one true roan Thoroughbred reported in New Zealand (Catch a Bird) who has offspring that are true roan.This amounts to less than a dozen true roan Thoroughbreds in the world (this number may be higher as there is no current report found).

What a roan horse is one that has patches of white and patches of reddish brown hair because the genes for the two hair colors are equally expressed of?

A roan horse is characterized by a mix of white and colored hairs, typically presenting as a combination of white and reddish-brown hair. This unique coat pattern occurs due to the equal expression of genes responsible for both colors, resulting in a striking and distinctive appearance. Roan can occur in various base colors, with the most common being red roan (reddish-brown and white) and blue roan (black and white). The roan pattern can change with age, as the horse's coat may become more mixed over time.
