HORSE BASE COLOR GENETICS 101



This is just a fast guide line I did up real fast

To explain some of my horses I own.

What their genes are DNA wise goes.

I hope it helps out a little bit to

Understand some of the genes are.

**********************************************

Your basic coat colors are

Chestnut - Sorrel (ee) Horses.

Bay - Brown - Black (Ee Or EE) horses.

They are controlled by the interaction

Between two genes: Extension (E) and Agouti (A).

The E gene (Red Factor) controls

The production of red and black pigment.

Agouti controls the distribution of black pigment

Either to their point pattern of their Mane,

Tail,lower legs,ear rims or uniformly over the body.

The dominant allele E produces black pigment in the coat.

The recessive allele e produces red pigment.
