I'm going out to my friend's place again in a couple of hours - her mare is giving birth tonight (hopefully) *crosses fingers* and we've got this whole 'betting' going on what color ect. the foal will be, so I thought of you amazing geneticians xD

(don't worry, I already gave in my bet for the foal color, so no cheating)

Alright, the Daddy-to-be:

And Mommy:

Unfortunately, I don't have a better picture of the mom, but she's basicly all red with two white socks on her hindlegs.

Her former foals looks like this:

So guesses on the colors of the foal?  ;D


Tribe

With two former foals that are chesnut id say chesnut, with a very small chance at a bay. Id imagine maybe leg markings and face markings but theres no proof of them being genetically passed.

But daddy and mommy are both to die for!

springacres

Well, since the father is a bay, he has at least one E gene, and chestnut requires two e genes (ee) so you have at least a 50% chance of a bay foal.

Regardless, I'm sure it will be a gorgeous foal :)  Do post pictures!


Spixy

Hehe I'll try :D

It's my first birth and I'm really super excited (and a bit nervous) to see it.

My guess is on a chestnut filly with two hind socks and a blaze, but she'll probably throw a colt again xD

*giggles* The fact that The Stable adoptable has inspired its followers to be able to genetically code real horse births is so awesome! ^^

indigowulf

Well, if those are former foals of the mother and no info on the father, it could be bay or even black, but probly 50% it will be chestnut.


PonyMama

I know nothign still, but here is my guess

it will be small and look like a horse :)

Thanks to TheStable, I understand it more and could apply to real horses like these too! ^^ Beautiful horses, Spixy!

Well, it will certainly be solid; there's no chance of paint or appaloosa. It won't have a cream gene, and it can't be gray or white.

If those foals had the bay father, the father must be Ee, whereas mom is ee. In that case, 50% chance of black-based and 50% chance of red-based. That's all I've got XD

Spixy!!! Your Danish !!! :D

- But my guess will be Darkish Chestnut with socks ;)

indigowulf

Only problem is, she hasnt confirmed who the father of those other foals is, or shown any foal confirmed from this stallion- so he could be just about anything A/At/A+/a and E/e wise.
We must remember that both the stable and the ranch use some abriviating on thier genetics to keep things simple. Like all those different kinds of Lp complex things- ugh!


Silvanon

Only definite known possible coat color is Bay, so that's my guess.  I'll throw in markings too for my guess.  Bay with two hind socks and a blaze.

Spixy

Wee :D She cheated us all during the night. Had an alarm on her, but no sweat or anything. Trickster!

It's a healthy little filly, chestnut like her mommy, with a blaze and two hindsocks. I'll post pictures later :D

She's absolutely adorable and a little charmer - loving to be scratched on her neck, lifting her lip and stretching her neck. Both mommy and foal are alright and have been out for a run - momma took the opportunity to roll xD

indigowulf

Hey, she april fooled you by not setting off her alarm! You should totally name the filly something to reflect that. Man, i wish my childbirth was relaxed enough I didnt break a sweat!

Cute little thing. Baby pangare is adorable.

Spixy

Haha yeah she did xD She was born on April the 1st - Full moon -  AND the first day of easter xD

I'll post some more pictures later, she's going out in the field for a few hours with her mommy today (unless the weather decides to change).
