Black mare and coloured foal?,

[maggiestar]

There are a few tethered horses near where I live, among which is a piebald foal who runs loose. He seems to stay close to a little black mare. Could that be the dam? It might sound like a stupid question but I wasn't sure if a black mare could have a coloured foal. The foal is quite chunky and the mare is more fine boned but still a cob type.

Yes. The coloured bit can come from mum or dad or both
