Just wondering if I put a blue and White mare to a homozygous tobiano stallion who is black and White, would the foals always be blue and White and grey out? Mare is currently 8 and looking almost all grey. Obviously she is still a coloured but just looking grey

no not neccissarily as they have the same chanc of greying out as a normal grey ,its 50=50 ,as the sire isnt grey so you wont get a homozygous grey

If the mare is homozygous for grey then all her foals will grey out. Do you know the colours of her parents? If only one is grey she will be heterozygous so half her foals on average will grey out, if both grey she still could be but you would have to test to find out. The sire will ensure they are all tobiano though.
