Gorgeous little filly foal born this morning! Mother gave us no signs of foaling anytime soon so had a bit of a lie in only to find a foal down in the stables 😂 mother and baby are doing brilliantly! Any ideas what colour the foal will end up being? Dam is a dark bay while the sire is a light bay. Very confused as the foal looks to be chestnut!! Either way she’s perfect!

Foal is definitely Chestnut (ee at Extension, any Agouti combo is possible depending on sire) that means you now know dam must be Ee A?. So she has a 50% chance of passing a dominant Extension (responsible for Black and Bay) and a 50% chance of passing a recessive extension (responsible for Chestnut when homozygous).
