Gray mares??

@JB

Any time each parent has a given gene, there is a 75% chance the foal will have at least 1 copy.

The whole breakdown is
25% chance no copy
25% chance 2 copies
50% chance 1 copy

So adding the 50 and 25 gives you 75% chance at least 1 copy

Thank you.

We have been breeding DW#5 Thoroughbreds for 25 years…still have some of the DW Puchi’s Rambo, mares and one show/pleasure gelding. Before the DW #5 TB…we used to breed racing Thoroughbreds…Husband was a trainer for 50+ years. We have never “not been” breeding…just cut back and skipped a year while we were relocating. And we don’t “pasture breed” as such. We tease the mares by hand to the stallion, breed when the mare is ready…then if the two are compatible the mare stays with the stallion until she is out of heat and then returned to the mare pasture. We do not and never did “pasture breed” by definition. The stallion is never put in the mare pasture. We have one TB mare who does live with the stallion full time. She has only produced one fantastic foal due to her advanced age, but they make a lovely “content” pair. We are currently breeding an outstanding, Champion Producing, APHA stallion to Thoroughbred and Irish Sport Horse mares.

I’m surprised that you have been breeding for color for so long, and that you haven’t tested your breeding stock. It has been easy and cheap to test for color and for OLWS for many years now.:yes:

Does the APHA not require stallions at stud to be tested at all ? I’m not familiar with the registry, but I’m surprised that it wouldn’t be a requirement to have that information available for people that are interested in breeding their mares to your Champion Producing APHA stallion.

Dominant White #5 does NOT carry the lethal white gene. We have NEVER had a LW foal. 1. We don’t breed outside mares. 2. Our APHA stallion has been tested for every genetically transferred issue there is…by his previous owner/breeder.

Is there a reason you are attacking our breeding program??

Saw that coming a mile out.

I am also confused how someone who has been breeding for so long doesn’t understand color genetics.
