Yes, because if you have a grey mare or stud whose base coat color was a dilute color such as palomino 0r buckskin before they turned grey, then that horse is bred to a dilute colored mare, the resulting foal could be a cremello that is also carrying the grey gene. Therefore, cremellos and perlinos can, if they are out of a grey parent, produce a dilute foal that turns grey. UC Davis now offers the genetic testing for the grey gene, so any cremellos or perlinos out of grey parents should be tested before being touted as 100% dilute color producers, or mare owners will be greatly disappointed!

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.
What color foal will you get if both parents are grey?
Grey is a genetically dominant color in horses, so one parent must be grey. You increase your odds of getting grey by breeding 2 greys together. A homozygous grey can only produce (mares) or sire (stallions) grey foals. Most greys will have dappling at younger ages, but many become white or a flea bitten grey as they get older.
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.
What if you breed a black horse to a gray horse?
What color would the foal be? I can't give you an exact answer, unless both the dam and sire have been DNA tested. However, I can give you a rough idea: If the grey horse has one grey parent, the foal has a 50/50 chance of being grey. If the grey horse has two grey parents, the foal will either have a 50/50 chance of being grey, or a 100% chance of being grey (impossible to know without DNA testing). Now, if the foal isn't grey, it could potentially be just about any color on the planet without knowing what genes the dam and sire carry.
What color do you get when you breed an gray horse wiht a gray?
It varies with the horse, but generally you will get a dark grey colt or filly. This is because the genes of the darker horse will make your foal a darker colour but the lighter of the pair kepps the colour from becoming completely black. Example: Cremello Stallion x Chestnut Mare = Either buckskin or palomino.
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 colour foal would you get if you bred a gray stallion and a black mare?
i got a cherry bay coat color Gray is independent of base coat color. If the stallion is heterozygous for grey there is a 50% chance that the foal will be gray. If the stallion is homozygous for grey the foal will be gray. If the stallion has only one gray parent then he is heterozygous. That being said, the base coat color of a gray/color of a non-gray foal can be partially extrapolated from the parents/grandparents/great grandparents.
What color foal do you get with a gray mare and a palomino stallion?
Like with humans you have to look at genetics. The dominant gene will trump the others usually.

What colour foal will you get if you breed white mare with a sorrel stallion?
brown So, white could mean maximum expression sabino or gray. If the mare has pink skin she is probably maximum expression sabino and her base coat color can be extrapolated (to a degree) from the base color of her parents and grandparents. If the mare is a maximum expression sabino amount of white will be determined by the genetics of the stallion in conjunction with the genetics of the mare. If the mare has dark skin she is gray. Gray is independent of base color...so the resulting foal could be any base color with a 50 or 100% chance of being gray. If the mare is gray Gg there is a 50% chance that the foal will be grey, If the mare is GG any foal produced will be grey. Again base coat color can be extrapolated from the parents/grandparents to a degree. A gray horse will always have a gray parent. The stallion is XXee as he is sorrel/chestnut again, looking at his parents/grandparents may lend information on his genetics at the agouti site and the subsequent possible color of the foal.

What are the color possibilities between a grey stallion and palomino mare?
Depends on the color of the mare before it turned gray.When the mare was:Chestnut/Sorrel/Red25% Palomino25% Gray out of Palomino25% Gray out of Chestnut25% ChestnutFor the other combinations please check: http://www.animalgenetics.us/CCalculator1.asp
What color foal would be produced by a black stud and line back dun mare?
Depending on the exact genes of both parents, the foal could be: Black Chestnut Bay The foal may also be a dun The foal cannot be gray because a gray foal must have one gray parent. Probably a dark dun or a black or a grey but it sometimes depends on the mother and farther's parents.
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 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
