What colours?

hi i buying a mare that is in foal to a paint stallion(now gelding).

she is a solid paint with two blue eyes and a flaxen mane and tail. she has two hind stockings and a fore sock, and a blaze. he is liver chestnut with lots of white and two parti eyes. he has white on his face and none on his legs. her two foals she has had have been chestnut with two blue eyes, the fisrt one had two diagonal stockings and some white splashes,colt,the second one had no white on his legs and a blaze,no white elsewhere.

what are the chances of getting a filly, with one dark eye and 1 blue, with a blaze and 3/4 white feet, and quite a bit of white but rounded white on the body instead of slpashy white

it dosent matter what it comes out as i will love it anyway, i was just wondering? im planning on keeping the foal, i dont know what sport im gonna do, but i wanna know what qh X tb can do in english riding? i like dressage and jumping so can you please give me some examples?

What colours?
I found a site which says he (One Scotch Lover ) is chestnut roan -- but he doesn't seem to be throwing the roan gene if he is roan, but he could.

What discipline was the stallion and the mare trained in? That would give you a clue as to what the baby could do.



But, IMO, it is how you raise the foal - you can teach them to do what you want! It might excel at one thing more than another, but be able to do anything - those are the best kinds!



Also here is a good site to enter colors to see the probability of foal color ! Love this site!



Good luck on your foal and mare!
Reply:The chances of that are pretty slim but I'm sure you'll love him/her no matter what it looks like.



You should try Barrel Racing. It is awesome and really fun. That is what me and my mom do together during Spring and Summer. If you like to go fast then this is a really good sport for you.



If you like riding English then you could try jumping. Jumping is pretty fun too. I used to do it in 4H. Or you can do Dressage.



You should try 4H if you are young enough. 4H is really fun. In my 4H we have little camp outs with our horses. We have Outdoor Horse Camp and we have Indoor Horse Camp. At the Indoor Horse Camp we played horse twister and learned the body parts of horses and played other horse related games. At Outdoor Horse Camp we stay at the fairgrounds for a week (with our parents/guardians) and ride, ride, ride! It is REALLY fun!! We learn reining, jumping, english, western, barrel racing, and lots, lots more. I definatley recommend 4H.
Reply:chances are always on sorrel... as for the markings, they are harder to decide on, unless the mare and stud are gene-typed, for homozygous or heterozygous, you won't know until the foal hits the ground.

If the stud is in the APHA and you put his registered name up, I can check to see if he is gene typed for you :-)

A QH TB cross can do about anything in english, but of course if you want to go into jumping, etc, size matters. Also, it does count on the confirmation... for example, a horse with a bad stifle isn't going to do too well in dressage.
Reply:you make it sound like the foal is half tb..i thought that tb cant be paints??..hmmm..maybe it will have more color..I dont know the chances but I but it will at least have one blue eye.
Reply:Actually, you need to know what the stallion has produced colour wise as well. I'm in the same position this coming May, my 9 yr old AQHA mare is in foal to an old AQHA stallion who's top line I've known for over 30 years. He's palomino and she's liver chestnut and she's thrown 3 palominos and one chestnut with a flaxen mane and tail. I own the chestnut filly... The stallion now 20 has sired nothing but palominos at this point and also has 4 white socks and a blaze as does my mare. I'm assuming I'm going to get a palomino, but not sure about what white I'll get on the legs. My filly has "spots" on her cornet bands but no real white legs.



I've had several QH TB Xs that have gone huntseat successfully. This filly who's just getting started undersaddle, I was hoping to take her western pleasure, but watching her at a trot convinces me EVERY time that she's going to go huntseat (She's soooooo danged LEVEL and floats at a trot!). I'm gonna cry when I finally pull that LONG blonde mane.



You can take the baby APHA Huntseat Pleasure IF you have papers on the foal. If no papers, then you're looking at either Pinto shows or Open shows. Most paints and QHs are TB crosses at this point if you take their pedigrees back far enough.



If your foal to be is registerable, then check with APHA on what classes for huntseat they offer. AQHA offers Open, Amature and Youth. When old enough, (5 and over) you can consider Hunter Hack if offered.
Reply:wish I had apicture. Gene pools are funny things. and I don't know that much about it. Look in google for your genetics research, all I know is 1 trait from the male 1 trait from the female, stuff like that.
Reply:I have no clue what you are going to get - I think it is always a wait and see. An Appendix (qhxtb) should be able to do anything you want in English riding, but it all comes back to conformation. Size isn't really a factor except for fashion, I have seen 15.2 hand quarter horses move better and bigger than big 16.2 hand tbs. It just depends on how the horse is built and how it moves.



...and on a side note, coloured TBs aren't new. There are quite a few breeders who are dedicated to producing coloured Thoroughbreds - and they are registered TBs too (not just "mostly" Thoroughbred).
