Usually the darker color will be dominant in horses. BUT... sometimes the horses genes will override this color dominance. It is a sort of wait and see with horses.
It all depends on the genes that the parents carry. If there is a bay (brown with black mane/tail/legs) in either the mother or the father's genes, it is possible to produce a buckskin.
The special thing about palominos is that the cream gene (that makes them that gorgeous gold colour) is a dominant gene. That means you only need one copy of that gene for it to influence the outcome of the offspring. Think of it like a dilution. A chestnut horse bred to a cream/cremello or (anything carrying the cream gene) will most likely produce a palomino foal. A bay bred to cream gene carrier will most likely produce a buckskin. A black bred to a cream gene carrier will most likely produce a smoky black. However, with all these cases, there are exceptions.
If the mother or the father has a bay parent or grandparent, or the father has a buckskin parent or grandparent (because, remember, the cream gene is dominant, so if the mother isn't palomino/buckskin/smoky black, she won't have the crema gene in her lineage), and remnants of those genes have been carried forward into the mare or stallion, there is a chance you'll have a buckskin foal.
Yes, it is very confusing ^^ This is a really good site to check out what colour foal you'll get from what colour parents:

∙ 11y agoSince there is no mention of the type of spotting pattern we will use Tobiano as the
spotting pattern.
Black and White aaEeTo+ or aaEETo+ or aaEeToTo or aaEEToTo
Buckskin AaEeCrcr or AaEECrcr or AAEECrcr or AAEeCrccr.
If the stallion is heterozygous for Tobiano 50% of the foals will be spotted.
If the stallion is homozygous for Tobiano 100% of the foals will be spotted.
If either the mare or the stallion is EE there will be no chance of a red based foal.
Since the stallion is black (aa) the color of any non chestnut foal will be determined by the genetics of the mare at the Agouti site. If she is AA there will be no black foals produced.
50% chance of the foal carrying the Creme gene. (black foals will not have an obvious color difference even if they carry the creme gene).

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.
Can a chestnut Arabian mare bred to a black Arabian stallion produce a grey foal?
it is not possible to have a grey horse unless one of the parents is grey. they must have it to thow it.
What color horse will you get if you breed a strawberry roan stallion with a blue roan mare?
If either horse is homozygous for roan the foal will be roan, if both are heterozygous there is a 75% chance that the foal will be roan. If by strawberry roan you mean the stallion is a bay roan as opposed to a chestnut roan, we can surmise that the stallion is Rn-A-E- The mare is Rn-aaE- The base color of the foal, without regard to whether it is roan is as follows If the stallion or mare is EE at the extension site they will produce either a bay or black foal...since the stallion is bay he could be AA (only bay foals) or Aa which will produce 50-50 bay or black with this mare. If both the mare and the stallion are Ee at the extension site there is a 25% chance of a chestnut foal.
If you bred a palomino mare to a chestnut stallion what color foal would you get?
Usually the darker color will dominate. But sometimes the genes of the parents can overpower the darker color. You really can not be sure. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It really depends on whether the black horse is homozygous (EE) or heterozygous (Ee). Horses are born with a base color from each parent. E represents black and e represents red. Black is dominate over red. If you get two red genes (ee) you always end up with a chestnut. If you get one or two black genes (Ee/EE) you end up with a black horse as long as you don't have agouti (A-Bay). So if you have a black horse with Ee bred to a chestnut horse ee, you have a 50/50 chance of getting a chestnut. If you breed a black horse with EE to a chestnut horse ee, you have a 100% chance of a black horse because they black (E) gene is dominate. Hope that clarifies it :) Fuangel29
Can a buckskin mare bred to a chestnut produce a gray baby?
This sounds unlikely to me.A chestnut horse does not have any dilution genes in its coat. A chestnut with one dilution gene is a palomino, and with two dilution genes is a cremello.A bay horse (non dilute) with one dilution gene produces a buckskin, and a second dilution gene produces a perlino.If you breed together a non-dilute horse and a double dilute, you will always get the horse with one dilution gene. So if you breed a cremello to a chestnut you will always get a palomino, and if you breed a bay to a perlino you will always get a buckskin. As far as I know, if you breed a chestnut to a perlino or a bay to a cremello you will have a 50/50 chance of palomino or buckskin.When you breed a chestnut and a buckskin one dilution gene is in play, from the mother who has it. The baby may inherit it or not. If the foal inherits the dilute gene it will be a buckskin or a palomino. If it does not inherit the dilution gene it will be chestnut or bay. In the diagram below, D is a non-dilute gene, while the lowercase d is a dilute.MOTHER - buckskin DdFATHER - chestnut DDFOAL: Possible combinationsDD (First gene from each parent), DD (First gene from mother, second gene from father), Dd (Second gene from mother, first gene from father), Dd (Second gene from each parent)So this combination has a 50/50 chance of producing a dilute or a non-dilute.The foal has a 25% chance of being each of these colours: Chestnut, bay, palomino, buckskin.You must account for the variation in the shade of the coat also. If you get a very pale palomino, this can be similar in appearance to a very light grey horse. However, its genetics tell the real story. A grey horse is a single dilution gene on a black horse, with a double dilute of black being a colour known as 'smokey cream' which is indistinguishable from cremello and perlino. Many people think smokey cream, cremello and perlino horses are albino, but the true albino gene is fatal, with the foal aborting, being stillborn or dying a few days after birth.If you bred your buckskin mare to a black stallion, you may get a grey baby, but there would only be a 25% chance once again, the foal could be bay, buckskin, black or grey. If you bred to a grey stallion, two dilution genes come into play and the foal would have a 50% chance of being either grey or buckskin, 25% of being black or bay, and 25% of being smokey cream or perlino. (Replace coat colours for breeding a buckskin to a palomino).Answer 2:Grey is a dominant gene so one parent would have to be grey...no grey no possibility of a grey foal.Keep in mind that the grey color is independent of the base coat colors...a grey foal generally has anywhere from a few to many white hairs in it's coat at birthif it has the grey gene, barring that they show up around the eyes and or base of the ears when the foal begins to shed it's foal coat.
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.
Can a red roan mare bred to a buck skin stallion produce a buckskin foal?
Yes.
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.
If a buckskin mare gets a palomino foal what father does the foal have?
Most likely would be cremello, palomino, chestnut (sorrel) or another buckskin.
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.
What crosses produce a buckskin foal?
Typically a cremello or palomino crossed to a bay or black horse will produce a buckskin foal.
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.
If you breed a chestnut mare to a cremello stallion the resulting foal will be?
Palomino
If you breed a cremello mare to a homozygous black stallion the resulting foal will be?
Buckskin or Smoky Black
What colour foal will you get out of a solid black mare and a chestnut and white overo paint stallion who apparently throws back to dams colour?
So an Overo stallion can only pass his spotting pattern 50% of the time which gives the breeder a 50% chance of an Overo foal in this breeding scenario. The mare is either aaEe or aaEE If she is aaEE she cannot produce a chestnut. If she is aaEe bred to a chestnut stallion there is a 50% probability of a chestnut foal. The stallion's genetic makeup at the agouti site will determine what the color of the foal if the foal inherits E from the dam (since the mare is recessive at the agouti site).. The statement that the stallion throws back to the dam's color may be an indicator that he is recessive at the agouti site (making him aaee) If this is the case this particular breeding would produce a black foal (which would make the throws back to the dam's color "true"). Bred to bay, brown mares the foals would also "tend" to produce foals colored like the dams especially if they don't carry e at the extension site.
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 colors does it take to have buckskin foal?
To practically guarantee a buckskin foal you need to breed a bay with a double dilute (either cremello or perlino) The double dilute will always pass on one of the dilution genes. Bay is dominate over chestnut so the chances of producing a palomino are reduced, but you will always get a single dilute foal with this combination. Palomino - dilute chestnut Buckskin - dilute bay Cremello - double dilute chestnut Perlino - double dilute bay
