Expert Posts: 1261	My chestnut mare had this foal out of a stallion that is not color tested but looks sooty buckskin and for sure carries a cream gene. Owner thinks he also carries dun but he's so heavily sooty that dun factor is not apparent he does have a dorsal but it looks like counter shading in my opinion. Anyway it looks like the filly base color is black but does she look black, smokey black or grulla? I will get better pics when I am able to get to her. My friend who was there for foaling thinks Grulla but I just dont know... Edited by wishes4kissez 2014-04-11 4:58 PM

Veteran Posts: 209	To get a Grulla one parent has to be Grulla, by the looks of your little cutie she's a Smokey Black, she has the amber eyes that the crème gene will present if it passes on to the offspring and buckskins have one crème gene. Edited to add that you can send DNA hair samples to UC Davis and they will do color testing and give you the whole genetic color breakdown for you. I can't remember cost sorry!

Member Posts: 49	Maybe she will shed out to be a sooty buckskin? My gelding is a sooty buckskin and I talked to the people who foaled him and they said he was a silver color when he was a baby

Regular Posts: 65	I would say you have a smoky black very cute. I have a smoky black mare she's grulla looking in the winter and a sooty buckskin in the summer..She produces color every baby so far. Edited by Justahorse-n-around 2014-04-11 7:28 PM

Sock eating dog owner Posts: 4557 Location: Where the pavement ends and the West begins Utah	The line down the back would say grulla but I don't see bars on the legs, so I'll have to go with black. I would be mighty pleased with that color. I have a little chestnut bred by my tri colored bay paint stud. Any guesses on what color the foal will be? Congratulations you have a real nice foal

Expert Posts: 1261	Thanks guys! I was so sure I was going to end up with a sorrel colt! The stud has thrown palomino out of every red mare hes ever been bred to and I thought with my luck I would have the one that ended up sorrel. I am pleasantly surprised by color and gender!
