Kasi,

Thank you for your e-mail and to answer your question, without knowing the genetic background of the gray horses your possibilities are sorrel with about a 50% chance of turning gray.

Your second question regarding the paint horse patters and colors should be directed to The American Paint Horse Association.

I have a 2 year old grey and white tovero mare, that I am wanting to breed to a buckskin overo. What are my likely chances there? I also have a solid dark grey mare out of a grey dam and sorrel stud, that I am wanting to breed to a sorrel stud. What are the color predictions there? Thanks!

Desarae,

Thank you for your e-mail and to answer your question; from your description this offspring sounds as if it will be bay or brown.

If you are unsure at the time of registration leave the color blank and include photos of the offspring so we can review them for you.

I have 2011 filly I’m trying to start papers on, but not sure what color you would call her. The mare is a grulla, complete with stripes on her legs and over her withers. Stud is a dark bay roan, all black points. The filly was dark dun, almost bay when born, but has now changed. She’s dark bay around her head & hind quarters, lighter dun from shoulders to hip. Very pale around her muzzle, very light on her legs (like palomino light). All black points, black mane/tail/hooves with dorsal stripe (which has faded some), and stripe over her withers. Would you still call her a dun, is she going to turn grullo on me or maybe even roan out?

My mare is due any day now, and I’m super excited to see what the foal will be… my mare is a VERY dark buckskin, she almost could pass as grulla. And she was bred to a paint stallion that does not produce 100% paint foals everytime… could you help me figure out what my foal possibly could be? I really want a solid! Thanks you in advance!
