Location: The Lone Star State		I have a color question since im gonna breed my mare this year I have been wondering about color. My mare is black and I am breeding her to a sorrel. My mares mother was black and her dad is Dash for Perks who is obviously black. I am breeding her to Streaking ta Fame who is a Sorrel/chestnut. Is it possible for me to get a sorrel? My mares mother had lots of sorrel babies so I know her mother was a red carrier. So can a mare with 2 black parents be a red carrier?? Is red or black a dominant color?? Just curious

Location: So. California		Black is dominant. It depends on whether your mare is hetrozygous or homozygous for black.  If she is homozygous for black, she can only throw black based foals, you may get black or bay..  She doesn't carry the Agouti (bay) gene (she is black) but the stallion may. Sorrels do not express the Agouti gene. 

The only way to know for sure is to have her color tested.
