Re: RC: color genetics

[TddWil@aol.com]

If the mare is homozygous grey the foal will grey out. If she is heterozygous 
you have 50/50 odds. What color are her parents? As for roan, I thought it 
was a dominant trait. I have also read that Arabs are not roan, but rabicano 
( the white is clustered over the flanks and belly instead of evenly 
distibuted). So you shouldn't have a roan unless the sire is roan, but you 
may have a rabicano even if the sire is not, because the mare may have been 
rabicano before she greyed out. Sounds like a wait and see thing, have fun.
