Hi there - sorry if this is a bit of a long winded post!
Trying to get my head around colour genetics.... slightly unsuccessfully so asking for help!
So...I've got a mare, she's a chestnut tobiano (got a lot of white), whose previous foal came out skewbald - the sire was a well marked skewbald.. now this time round the mare's in foal to a bay (the amazing Avanti Amorous Archie).. am i likely to get a skewbald??? or will it be a mini me and be chestnut/white?
She can't be homozygous and only throw chestnut/whites if her first foal was skewbald surely - or would she if the sire was homozygous too?
I'd actually really love a solid bay, but somehow i think my chances are pretty slim!!!!
Thanks in advance, and sorry it's a bit of tedious post!
