Mask Black
my sorrel mare,palamino stud had a solid palamino,all white except has a black mask and nose. what color adult?
underneath he is dark,but no line and no black in mane or tail or feet. he’s like a very light buckskin,but no black anywhere but mask and nose.
Interesting genetics question.
Red horses always carry two red genes, they are always homoygous for red. Therefore a red based horse bred to a red based horse ALWAYS will have a horse in the red tones.
That’s why Julie told you (correctly) that you cannot have a buckskin. Both palominos and sorrels are in the red family. A palomino is a sorrel/chestnut with a cream gene. So you had two option when breeding chestnut to palomino, either you were going to get a palomino or a sorrel.
You cannot get a bay, black or buckskin becaue they are all horses with at least one black gene. You could not have a dun because the dun gene cannot skip a generation, only a dun horse can produce a dun horse. You will never see a non-dun produce a dun.
The only confusing part is – if you had a horse with a hidden color gene. For example, there are some black horses with a cream gene that are genetically smoky blacks, but they may look like a true black horse. These horses can produce palominos and buckskins because they carry a cream gene, even though it isn’t visible. So I suppose its remotely possible that your horse has a hidden color gene such as silver dapple (which can be hidden in red tones since only the black tones are visible) or the equally rare pearl gene (also hidden until two pearls breed) But since both pearl and silver dapple are rare and unusual I think its unlikely that’s what you’ve got.
Palomino foals often change color as they age. I suspect that’s what you have – you can see his dark skin under his fine hair and that makes his face look black. I suspect that by fall time he will appear like a more traditional palomino.
For more info on horse color genes, go to google and type in “horse color genetics”. You will learn more than you ever wanted – especially if you look up the color wheel which will show you what your possibilites were breeding one tone to the next.
Hope that helps.
