Just to point out that the color calculator is not very accurate because there is no way for it to know the exact genetic make up of your horses. So it is a guess at best.

Just want to second Bunnylady's post. This colt could be smokey black or very dark buckskin. Once he gets is proper coat in you should know for sure.
but if you know your horse's background they you can get a good calculated guess. it's always helped me know what I know it CANT be....ie you can not get a grey horse unless a parent is grey....

Last time I looked at that site there was no way to select specific genetic states. They seem to have updated it sense then. :)

I have a good question..... I bred my bay mare to my cremello stud. Now...by most all standards genetically she would only throw buckskins with him. Well...last year she threw a gorgeous Palomino. This year.....the foal was silver (His g-grandfather is WGC Silver Design). When he started shedding off his foal coat he turned buckskin....now...he is shedding off to his winter coat and has turned an almost chocolate color with fine flea-bit silver. I am clueless! Here is a pic of him.

Any ideas....oh....he is for sale! :D:
What breed? Does the stallion carry the Z gene? (Silver Dapple) The stallion carries Red/Red ,Cream/Cream ,??, and possible ? What colors are in both parents pedigree?? This will help determine what all he carries. What all colors has the stallion produced? Mare carries 1Red, maybe 1 Bay and 1 Black. Do you know what all color foals she has produced?

We have a very affordable lab here in Florida for color testing. It is the one I use for my Rocky Mountain Horses.
