hey guys,
just wondered if anyone might know the answer to this... if you bred a chestnut mare (who has two Palomino parents) to a buckskin stallion, what could you potentially get? I tried to figure it out with the color calculator but ended up confusing myself
Donna? Anyone? LOL
Thanks guys!!

The two Palomino parents do not play any role if the outcome offspring was a chestnut. You just have a chestnut x buckskin to the account then.
Now in addition it will depend the genetics of the buckskin with what you can count.

If the buckskin is a regular buckskin --bay with one cream gene, then the odd are 50/50 that the foal will get the cream dilute. After that the base coat would be the same for breeding a bay to a chestnut.
More information about what kind of bay --does the bay horse carry the gene for red or does the bay have a black parent would help in the calculations.
Pretty much the colors would be: With the dilute gene, buckskin, palomino and smokey black. Without the cream gene bay, chestnut or black.
