For example E=Dominant and e=recessive so
Ee=Heterozygous Dominant
eE=Heterozygous recessive
EE=Homozygous Dominant
ee=Homozygous recessive

E is dominant and e is recessive.

As far as Ee or eE, both are just heterozygous, meaning that the horse expresses the dominant gene but can pass a copy of either allele to its offspring. So,

If you had an Ee Freaky Friday for instance, and bred him to ee mares, the foals would have a 1/2 chance of being black based or red based.

Does that help?

For lined horses, the sire's contribution is listed first and the dam's second. That is why some horses will have the dominant allele first and some will have the recessive first for heterozygous genes.

Yep,
Thanks
