Color predictions??

[miniaturehorselover]

So im breeding my 33 inch flea bitten grey to a silver dappled pintaloosa stud.. my mares sire is a grey and so is her grandsire.. yet mom is a chestnut pinto . I was wondering what color can i get out of this mix any info would be great!

without know what colour of the dam was before she turned grey its impossible to say , what I can tell you is that the foal has a 50% chance of being grey and if the sire passes the silver gene it will go white/grey very quickly

She was a blue roan

 

Offspring Color Probability - these are the "base" colors, as baby may turn "grey", so will lose the "color" and turn white, as momma is.

So it will either be a grey or white? Is there a chance it will have the pinto gene?

I believe that if the stud or your mare aren't pinto, it will not be passed on. It would take at least an extremely minimal pinto mistaken for solid to pass on any pinto gene.

He is a pintaloosa

 

With him being a pintaloosa, he has both some pinto genes and some appaloosa genes. I only see appaloosa characteristics on him from the pictures -- some hoof striping and some mottling on some privates -- so it's possible he may throw either, but again, baby may turn white like momma as it matures.
