If I understand the explanation that I read on UC Davis, my horses (below) Silver Dapple would probably be Ee (black base) with Silver dilution (considering his overall color and the fact that 3 foals by him 2 were silver like him from black mares and the 3rd was "sorrel" like the mare) He also seems to pass Appy (only 2 of 3 foals are living and they both show outwards signs of Appy --not from the mares) His tobiano was not passed to one of his foals so Toto.
Now the mare I want to breed to is Bay pinto with roaning so Ee, AA or Aa (she not only has the points dark but has ermine marks too) I'm thinking the roaning on her back may be sabino but ???
According to UC charts I have a 37% chance of getting another bay and a 37% chance of getting a black. However their chart doesn't take the silver into account so IF the foal was black (or even if it was bay) IN YOUR OPINION would it be the "silver" color?
Also I'd appreciate the suggestions as to what you would have these two tested for if they were your horses.
Sorry the roaning is barely visible but when she's clipped there are white hairs interspersed from her white spot all the way to her rump.
