Hmm, there are a few combinations. Let me have fun with this.

Lets start with if the foal gets chestnut from his mother, making it a chestnut based horse.
Ok, spent way too long trying to map it out and didn't even get to the end of the chestnut horses. Lots of different genes and lots of heterozygous genes and lots of genes the horse my or may not have and may or may not be homozygous for.Instead of listing all the different forms, I'll just say the likelihood for each gene.

Your foal has a 50% likelihood of being either chestnut or black base.

It is garnered to have cream factor. 75% likelihood to have pearl, 25% of that being a pearl with two copies of the gene. It has 50% likelihood of having the Cream form instead of pearl, and 25% likelihood that it will have both pearl and cream, therefore looking similar to the kings ransom rank special.
So from this you can have a chestnut or black looking pearl carrier, you could have a red or black based pearl more, you could have a pearl cream horse like its father, or you could have a palomino or smokey black, and this is dis regarding all its other genes.

It is 50% likelihood to be a dun, so you can have a red dun, a red pearl dun, a creamelo dun, a palomino dun, a grullo, a pearl grullo, a pearlino dun, or a smokey grullo.

Now looking at the rest of its genes, 50% chance that it will have one sooty and 50% it will have two. It will have silver, making it a silver grullo, or silver pearl grullo, or silver smokey grullo. It may or may not be homozygous, and it will not change the color of red based horses. It will have champaign, Hz or not is 50/50, and I don't know the names well enough with this gene, it will either be White 20/20, or white 20/roan, neither are lethal. 75% chance of splash, 25% of it being Hz, 50% chance of frame, see no reason for anything but a perfectly healthy foal, but it will look amazing... and there are probably about 60 combinations if I was going to write them all out, yes, I do it in school, but I'm on break right now. sorry.

Thanks, and while I was feeding chickens I realized that I dropped all the non dun colors after I started with dun, and only one parent has one allele, so that has to be 50, right?
Thanks for catching me, ammit, I need to not try to do it without a punnet's square in the future. It would be quite a large square to do this one. haha


Just read this over again and found some... errors. That's what I get for trying to type in a hurry. Sorry folks, didn't mean to use harsh language!
