Well, thanks for the compliment. Here's a link to a page that may help understand a little more. http://songcatcherranch.webs.com/horsecolorgenetics101.htm
Since your boy carries both Black and Red, he has a 50/50 chance or throwing either. Therefore, if bred to a mare that also carries Red, there is the chance of a Red based foal.
Bay is Black based, Black + Agouti. The Agouti restricts the Black to the points. Buckskin is Black + Agouti +...
Yes, with a Red gene, he can throw Palomino, Cremello, and Sorrel/Chestnut. Agouti will not show on a Red based horse, even when they carry it. He cannot produce Black or Smokey Black, as the Agouti will make it a Bay or Buckskin.
I would say she is a Black Sabino, although the Sabino may easily be one of the forms that there is no test for. I doubt she is Frame, but I always recommend testing breeding animals for LWO (Frame) just to be sure.
I doubt clipping her would show much more white at this point. Summer coat is...
I cannot blame the buyer for wanting to get papers, but would blame them if they EXPECT to get them for nothing. Explain to them the situation and that the sellers sold them a horse that had been given to them. Papers are worth something and they should be paid for.
On the other hand, there...
Welcome from Oklahoma. It sounds like she is really close, but they can sometimes be very deceiving.
More than once I have woke up and looked at my monitor and could swear there was a foal in the stall, and after getting up and going out to the barn, discover that it was just a shadow in the...
Congratulations and welcome to the forum from Oklahoma. You probably already know this, but if you choose to get a mare as a buddy, be sure to wait 6-8 weeks after gelding to put them together in order to avoid any surprises. A few sperm tend to linger around for a while after gelding.
I envy...
Yes, that is definitely possible. The two base colors are Black and Red. White markings cover parts (or all) of the base color, but White is not a base color. You can test to see if it is Black or Red or heterozygous Black/Red.
Teardrop Montana is registered as Sorrel Pinto and 32 inches.
If the Teardrop you are looking for has a prefix, She may indeed be A registered. If you know of foals by a particular stallion, I might be able to look up by looking at the get of the stallion.
There is a Teardrop Montana, but born in 1970. Don't think that is what you are looking for. Hidden Meadows Holy Smoke is registered AMHA, current owner listed as Joe and Betty Burrows. Black Pinto born in 1987, son of Shadow Oaks Paul Bunyan.
I have never used the 38, but I have been very dissatisfied with the 120 this year. I had two mares test positive that turned out not to be. There was no chance they lost a foal after testing.
I think most people's difficulty in understanding Pinto genetics is that they get the idea that they must be one pattern or the other. NOT true. They can have all the patterns combined together.
ALL of your horses pictured are Tobianos. BUT, like most all Pintos, they also carry other genes...
