Beautiful stud ... What a looker and a mover  |

Base color doesn't matter. If you want to increase your chances of a roan baby, breed a roan mare to a roan stud...but it still is only a 75 % chance. |

It's almost important to consider if the horse that carries the roan gene is homozygous or heterozygous. A Streak of Fling is heterzygous. Meaning one dominant and one recessive copy of the roan gene. |

Right...If either is homozygous then you will get a roan 100% of the time, however it may be expressed to different degrees. |

There is no such thing as a recessive roan gene. They may have one copy of roan with a non-roan gene R/r (heterozygous). Or they may have two copies (homozygous) R/R or none r/r. Roan is dominant as are most color genes, so one copy will express the color of roan applied to the base color of the horse. Two copies also express the roan gene. When they are homozygous for a color that's all they can offer to their offspring. So when bred to a non-roan, they will always have a roan foal. |

What kind of mare is good to breed to him? Confirmation wise? I have a daughter of FG that is race bred on the bottom (Dr Kirk) that I want to breed to him. She is a tad long in the back. I had that was not a good combination? I have another FG daughter but she is just a yearling. I could wait for her though |

| I can't remember exactly how it works, but I thought if you bred a red roan to a red roan the embryo would die in utero. |

People used to think that. But I think they've revised that in recent years. https://www.vgl.ucdavis.edu/services/Roan.php |

Thank you for phrasing it better that is what I meant, on the darn phone and harder to type these things out. And sometimes the base color will show not the roan applied to it. I know of a palomino that carries a copy of the roan but you can't see it by looking at her. |

My neighbor had a buckskin stallion that had one roan gene. You couldn't tell by looking unless you were right next to him. |

That's a frame overo gene that you're thinking of. It is lethal when homozygous. Roan doesn't have anything to do with the frame overo pattern. It's call OLWS. |

Right. I know/agree with you that it has nothing to do with Roans. I was trying to put a name to the genetic issue BMW was bringing up. And yes, the doctrine/old belief used to be out there about breeding roan to roan and embyro's dieing etc. but thankfully with more education and understanding of genetics and hereditary inheritance, many of these beliefs are proven incorrect.  |

I have the book on coat color if anyone needs a copy. *Hint* |
