Palomino foals can range in color from creamy gold to nearly chestnut looking, where
the mane color in the same as the body color but grows out the signature white as the foal coat sheds and the mane grows out.

What colors can Thoroughbreds be?
Palomino is a coat color and not a breed, if you are unsure of this than please look at palomino horse association online and see for yourself. I think it started off and is classified as a breed but becasue of genetics it can now be a clour but im not positive
What color foal do you get when you breed a chestnut horse and a palomino horse?
You could get either a palomino or a chestnut. Since a palomino is a diluted chestnut, and a chestnut has no dilution genes, it will balance out the foal's genes so that it could be either color! Good Luck!
Are there any signs before a mare gives birth to a foal?
yes there are in fact! xD when a mare is close to giving birth, she may pace around her stall, look at her side, look as if shes in pain, lay down and get up, and just like humans her water will break so if you see a wet patch youll know your close.
Do foals look like there parents?
Foals will not look exactly like their parents, but will have picked up some characteristics from them. For example if the mum and dad are bay, there is a high chance that the foal will be bay but it isn't certain.
Can a horse with Ee and cream gene and silver gene and agouti look like a palomino?
Answer: The palomino color is a recessive gene, so it needs one from each parent. The best odds to get a palomino are breeding two together. Answer: Palomino is not recessive, but an incomplete dominant. Only ONE Creme gene (written as n/Cr) needs to be present in order for the horse to appear as palomino. If the horse had the creme gene from BOTH parents, it would not be a palomino at all, but an almost-white CREMELLO. This is written genetically as Cr/Cr (a creme gene from each parent). In fact breeding Palomino to Palomino gives EXACTLY the same chance of palomino as breeding Chestnut to Palomino - two chances out of four. Palomino x Palomino gives: 1 Cremello; 2 Palomino; 1 Chestnut/Sorrel. Chestnut x Palomino gives: 2 Palomino; 2 Chestnut/Sorrel Chestnut x Cremello gives: 4 out of 4 palominos, however: Cremellos can suffer from terrible sunburn and eye disorders. For humane reasons, therefore, it is often recommended that the Palomino x Chestnut formula be used for breeding palominos. (end of interruption) But a horse with E/e, Siver Gene, Cream Gene, Agouti can indeed have a Palomino-color, but is not a true Palomino. The black color is diluted by the Silver Gene, also by the Agouti Gene and Cream Gene, the horse will have a very light brown-gold color with blonde manes, just like a true Palomino. The more color modification genes a black horse (E/E or E/e) carries, the outcome will be an exception. From the outside one can not distinquish a horse like that from a true Palomino, only gene testing will give an answer, even so: the horse still carries a Cream Gene, just like a Polomino, but the horse basic color is not sorrel. This happens a lot. So normally a Palomino horse is e/e (sorrel) with a Cream Gene. But a horse with E/e, and Silver Gene, and Cream Gene And Agouti, will not be Smokey black, but will have a much lighter brownish, gold brown color like a Palomino, this because of the extra color modification genes the horse carries. Answer: A palomino is the result of a (1)cream gene acting on a sorrel/red (ee aa/Aa/AA) horse. 2 creams on sorrel/red horse result in a cremello. 1 cream on a bay horse results in a buckskin, 2 creams a perlino. The cream gene is not recessive. It is an incomplete dominant. Meaning that 1 copy of the gene lightens color some but 2 copies lightens color more. 2 palominos bred together will produce 25% sorrel/red 50% palomino 25% cremello offspring. The best way to produce palomino is to breed a cremello and a sorrel together. This will produce 100% palomino offspring. A horse that is Ee and has agouti is bay. If it has a cream gene it will lighten the horses coat and the resulting color is called buckskin. A silver gene only lightens black hair. It will lighten the mane, tail and legs SOME but usually not completely. It will look like a regular buckskin with "highlights." The mane a tail often get darker with age. It would take a person that has very little knowledge about coat colors to think the horse looked like a palomino. Answer: It could look like a palomino - since Silver (Z) could lighten the black mane and tail - but since silver does not lighten the coat as much as the mane and tail, the legs would be dark, like a red dun. That's how you could tell it's not a true palomino. I have found that the presence of TWO dilution genes can cause a double dilute effect, even though the genes are unrelated (dun, silver, champagne, creme, etc). I have a chestnut based Silver/Champagne that appears as a cremello without the blue eyes She has no creme gene at all.
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.
Can a white male horse and a black female horse give birth to a white colt?
This depends on if the horse is homozygous for black (EE), if is then it will only pass the black genes on, but the color of the other parent will also be a factor in color. If for example you breed a homozygous black stallion (EE,aa) to a palomino mare (ee,aa, nCr), you'll have a 50/ 50 chance at either a solid black foal (Ee,aa) or a smoky black foal (Ee, aa, nCr) which is a black foal with one copy of black and one copy of cream.If the horse is heterozygous for black then it would go something like this Black stallion + palomino mare= 25% chance of each; black, smoky black, palomino, chestnut.
How can you get a palomino foal?
Look around and when you see a horse farm ask them if they know anyone who has any for sale. Most people with horses know others with them too! A chestnut (A.K.A Sorrel) horse crossed with a cremello will always come out with a palomino foal.
How do you look after a foal?
you have to pay a lot of attention to a foal
What does S Wendell Palomino look like?
I imagine him looking like what Rick Santorum looks like, in fact, exactly alike.
How do you use foal in a sentence?
Please be quiet in this area as the mare is about to foal. Look at that handsome foal!
What color do you get when you breed a palomino horse to grey horse?
The easiest way to breed a palomino is to cross a chestnut with a cremello. A Palomino will result every time. A palomino is a chestnut horse with a dilution that turns the chestnut to gold. You have a 50% chance of palomino when breeding a chestnut to a palomino. You have much smaller chance breeding a bay or other colored horse to a palomino. You have a 50% chance of palomino breeding a bay to a cremello.

On Howrse what will a baby look like if its mother is an Irish Hunter and the father is a Chincoteague Pony?
If the parents are each 100% of their breed then the foal will take the breed of the father and look like the Chinco pony. If however, there is a higher breed percentage in the make-up, the foal will follow this characteristic.
Does the father of a foal help look after it?
NO NO NO!! As soon as your mare is bred, she should not be in by the stallion. If your mare and foal are in with the stallion, the stallion (no matter how sweet it is) will kill the foal.
