So, my horse trainer also breeds. She breeds for the Champagne color family but none of her brood is homozygous champagne. The only two colors to come out of her stallion and mares are (various) champagnes and bays. Well this year, one mare popped out a chestnut. But she doesn’t look like a normal chestnut as she’s growing up. I’ve seen a lot of chestnuts but never one with a dorsal stripe. She also has black patches? I know certain horses can color shift since we had one foal go from a tan color to a bay. I’m just curious since we’ve never had a foal like it. I’m not sure what the mom’s background is. All I know is that she’s a Creme draft with a pinch of Friesian somewhere in there. The sire is a Creme draft/Holsteiner. Anybody have any ideas?
