Yeager GF - Color


Copyright © 2007 Anne Johnson

As a buckskin, Yeager will have a 50% chance of passing on color (Buckskin, Palomino or Smokey Black) to his offspring. With grey mares, foals will also have a 50% chance of color, but the mare will pass on an additional 50% chance that any base color will grey out. So no matter what, you'll end up with a top quality sporthorse—plus you'll have a great chance to get some color, too!

Below are some basic tables giving examples of how Yeager's Creme Gene
will combine with different colored mares:

Non-Dilutes = Chestnuts, Bays and Blacks.
Single-Dilutes = Palominos, Buckskins and Smokey Blacks.
Double-Dilutes = Cremellos, Perlinos and Smokey Creams.
