Once again, this blog brought me together with another new friend, Kiya. She is a High School student from Arizona. Kiya posted this color chart of the possible colors of this years foals based on the parents color. I asked her if I could make a post with her results so everyone could see.
It will be fun to see how it all works out this spring! Thanks Kiya for sharing.

Here are the possible foal colors for the year of 2013. I only calculated the colors of the foals of the mares that could possibly foal (no PZP). I did not include the missing mare because we have no clue who the father could be L. The calculations should be near correct, but since we can not go out and test for the color genes, I have left each as heterozygous instead of homozygous for their respective genes.
Icara and Durango’s foal could be a good number of colors.
16.67% -Buckskin Roan
16.67% -Buckskin
16.67% -Bay Roan
16.67% -Bay
8.33% -Palomino Roan
8.33% -Palomino
8.33% -Chestnut Roan
8.33% -Chestnut
I don’t know if either of Fresia or Merlin are homozygous for the dun gene, so I put them both as heterozygous. But the foal will most likely be grullo.
70.31% -Grullo
23.44% -Black
4.69% -Red Dun
1.56% -Chestnut
Until the foal is born we don’t know if the father to Halo’s foal is Merlin’s or Hidalgo’s, so I have included both.
If Merlin is the father, the foal will probably be bay or bay dun (the usually variety of dun you see).
35.16% -Bay Dun
35.16% -Bay
11.72% -Grullo
11.72% -Black
3.13% -Red Dun
3.13% -Chestnut
If Hidalgo is the father, the foal will most likely be bay.
58.34% -Bay
33.33% -Chestnut
8.33% -Black
Halcyon’s foal will most likely be a roan… 100% chance if Blue Moon is homozygous for roan.
25.00% -Blue Roan
25.00% -Bay Roan
25.00% -Chestnut Roan
8.33% -Black
8.33% -Bay
8.33% -Chestnut
Isadora’s foal will probably be black or blue roan, again depending on whether or not Blue Moon is homozygous for roan.
46.88% -Blue Roan
46.88% -Black
3.13% -Chestnut Roan 3.13% -Chestnut
Gabrielle’s foal will most likely be dun, since she and Cappucino carry the dun gene.
52.73% -Bay Dun
17.58% -Grullo
17.58% -Bay
5.86% -Black
4.69% -Red Dun
1.56% -Chestnut
There is a good possibility that Fiasco and Custer’s foal could be grullo roan. 50% chance the foal will be roan, possibly more if we knew if Custer was homozygous for roan.
23.44% -Grullo Roan
23.44% -Grullo
23.44% -Blue Roan
23.44% -Black
1.56% -Red Dun Roan
1.56% -Red Dun
