What colour foal can I get from a tobiano mare?

It is almost impossible to tell unless both Sire and Dam have been DNA matched for colors. What you are talking about doing is putting good money in stud fees, mare care for more than a year then feeding this foal for 2 years before you can start working it, sending it to a trainer who is going to charge you a minimum of $3000 to break and train the colt or filly before you can ride it, then you will have a horse that you have about $8000 in that is worth $200. do the math, buy a 2 year old and send it to be trained and you will still have a $200 horse but will only have $3000 in it.

Please don't breed for color.....? /Buy/ the color foal you want. Breeding a horse is /so/ expensive and your mare could die from the whole process.

What has your mare accomplished? Is there anyone who will want the foal if you can't keep it? Are you prepared for 3-4 years into the future to wait to break this horse?

My advice? Let the breeders breed. Save yourself the money and the heartbreak and buy the foal you want. You can pick the personality, conformation and color! If you breed, you have no idea what you're going to get, just estimations.

You say you're not, but you're breeding for color. If you were responsible breeders, you would have her genes checked out. "We want a foal from her because she has a beautiful temperament." That phrase is filling up the meat trucks, as well as "we want a colored foal because it'll be soooo cute!!", "we'll sell the babies and make lots of money!!", "our mare is special to us and my daughter will grow with the foal and be best friends with it!!!"

You want a colored baby? BUY ONE.

Oh dear. Can of worms has been opened. Don't be a backyard breeder, especially over something as dumb as color. Go out and find the color you want, there are plenty of good horses who need homes.

time and time again i see stupid people that worry about the Colour of their horse rather than their skills, temperament, conformation etc.
