Other Patterns of  white

These "colors" are actually patterns of white  (grey is progressive) and are not "true" horse colors.  First you must identify the " base" color of the horse.  For example a black and white tobiano would be black.  A grey that was born sorrel, would  be sorrel an so on. 

Select the mares "base" color and then calculate that 50% of the foals would also carry the "pattern of white" if the horse is heterozygous (assume this if you do not know for sure) and  100% of the foals would carry the pattern if the mare is homozygous.

Sooty
Shade

These effects can change the visual color of the horse (from light sorrel to liver chestnut).  A sorrel horse is  genetically the same color as a liver chestnut - but just a different  shade.  If a mare is a dark shade, she should pass that darkness onto  her offspring at least 50% of the time.

*We are assuming: 

  • The mares color has been correctly identified 
  • The mare is not homozygous for black,  champagne,  or Agouti (black points)
  • Black mares are not smoky blacks (carry the  dilute creme gene without expression)
