Assuming that she is chestnut... What are the odds if
She is chestnut genes from Flying Hill and her genes of color came from Moonrise.. See how those genes are going?
Do I post this to genetics?
If she is a chestnut that means the mare has that as a recessive gene and passed that on to the foal and so did the sire. I forget the technical name for it but I do know it's recessive just like blue/green eyes in people.
My mare is dk bay and her full brother is chestnut. She carries one chestnut gene because Ecton Park is chestnut but passed on the dk bay to her first foal.
The tail and mane are darker but the foal could be a light bay?
