Hi I was wondering if anyone could tell me a likely color of a foal I will get if....
I breed a Sorrel mare to a bay stallion?
or if
I breed a Sorrel mare to a sorrel, bay or black overo Stallion?

Any suggestions on the color prospects would be helpful!
Thanks in advance!

I bred my Sorrel mare to a bay and got nice dark chestnut.

I bred her to a chestnut twice and got two very light chestnut fillies with flaxen mane and tail.

Then I bred her to a big Dun (buckskin) and got a nice dark bay??? Grandsire is bay... LOL.. I just new I was going to get a buckskin or paly...HUM? Good thing I like bay..

There are some fun charts to look at. Have fun. It is all so interesting what can happen. Having a color history on your horse will help..
