Hello, For the most part I don't know too much about coloring but,
How would a Grey/roan Sire mate with a bay mare make a chestnut?

How does this work

Years ago I boarded at a farm that bred Quarter Horses
Their grey stallion kept popping out palomino's and buckskin's out of bay, chestnut and black mares and I couldnt figure out how that was possible
It wasnt until someone explained that grey isnt a "colour" - its a "modifier" hiding the true base coat colour, that I understood. He was palomino underneath the grey so always had the 50% chance of passing on the dilute gene, as well as having the 50% chance of passing on his own grey modifying gene
