Heres a pic of him from last weekend, i think hes going to be black now!  sarahp hes wasn't tested for agouti, results say "Heterozygous. Horse is black but carries a recessive copy of the red gene" |

The DNA test shows what he has at the red/black locus, which is one copy of black, which is dominant, and one copy of red, which is recessive. So that tells us he does have black in his coat and is not a chestnut. Agouti is the gene that restricts black, in a horse that has it, to the points to give a bay. This one you haven't tested for so you don't know about! His chestnut parent could carry agouti without it being expressed, sorry, I think I got the parents the wrong way round above. So he could end up black or bay.

he was a typical black colouring foal so black seems the more obvious choice ,i had one this year that looks the same and he is black from a mahogony bay and chestnut
