Veteran Posts: 171	I have a bay mare with a bald face, blue eyes and four white feet. I bred her to bugemforcash (chestnut). What do color do y'all think she could have?

The Color Specialist Posts: 7530 Location: Washington. (The DRY side.)	Red(sorrel/chestnut), bay or black are the only possible colors. Depends on if the mare is homozygous for the black gene or not. If she had 2 black based (bay, black, buckskin ect.) parents, there is a chance she could be. If the mare has one red based (sorrel/chestnut, Palomino ect...) parent she carries the red gene. Also depends on if either parent I'd homozygous for agouti. If one is, there is NO chance for a black foal.

The Color Specialist Posts: 7530 Location: Washington. (The DRY side.)	No chance that she is homozygous for the black gene them. Most likely you will get "red", or bay. With a small chance of black.(The only way to know if a horse is homozygous for agouti is by DNA testing.[Unless both parents were homozygous.] Sorrel/chestnut horses can also carry agouti, you just can't tell because it only affects black which they don't have.
