Coat Color results for Centauri Im On A High(DT23350): Red-Factor Result:e/e - Only the red factor detected. Basic color is sorrel or chestnut in the absence of other modifying genes. Agouti Result:A/A - Black pigment distributed in points pattern. Basic color is bay or brown in the absence of other modifying genes. Sabino 1 Result:N/N - No evidence of altered sequence detected. So to a brown stallion (homo for black) she will ONLY have a bay foal right? or maybe a brown too, NO BLACKS?? bugger!!!!! And how can she test neg for SB1? she has all the indicators I thought, roaning, jaggered socks and has had foals with baldy faces and stockings, etc.

Yep - sorry!

Oh, lots of horses with sabino type markings never test positive for SB-1. I don't think they've gotten a positive in Clydes or Shires yet, and the whole breed has sabino type markings in those cases. That's why multiple alleles are suspected. Plus, dominant white is now a factor as well, because it produces a phenotype identical to what is called sabino.

ok I thought that might be the case with sabino.

Does my mare look like shes a sabino?

I just wish she had tested a/a or A/a.... thou I dont want another black horse, I really wanted a chance at a black/blue roan.... sigh.
ah well colour isnt everything!
As long as its a filly i dont care if it isnt even a roan!

Trust me, same boat here. I desperately want a grullo and maybe a black silver... but the only mare I have is 'AA' (red). *shrugs* Guess I'll be buying someday.
