Dark Bay: a dark brown or dark reddish-brown coat with black points, difficult to distinguish from seal brown. Sometimes also called "black bay" or "mahogany bay." Blood Bay/Red Bay: a bright red chestnut coat with black points; Brown: The word "brown" is used by some breed registries to describe dark bays. Informally, "brown" is applied to ...
Because chestnut's e at extension is recessive to bay's E, two chestnut horses can never have a bay foal. Likewise, because black's a at agouti is recessive, two black horses cannot have a bay foal either. However, it is possible for a chestnut horse and a black horse to produce a bay foal, if the chestnut horse is AA or Aa at agouti.
Bay is the most common color of horse, [2] followed by black and chestnut. A change at the agouti locus is capable of turning bay to black, while a mutation at the extension locus can turn bay or black to chestnut. These three "base" colors can be affected by any number of dilution genes and patterning genes.
Chestnut Bay is a resort in northern Alabama, about 90 miles northeast of Birmingham. Boy Scout leader found teen’s remains 54 years ago, OR cops say. Now she’s identified.
Because the red color is recessive, two bay or black parents can produce a chestnut foal if both carry "e" or "e a". However, two chestnut parents cannot produce a bay or black foal. The extension locus (genetics) is found on chromosome 3 (ECA3) and is part of the gene that codes for the equine melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R).
Cream coat colors are described by their relationship to the three "base" coat colors: chestnut, bay, and black. All horses obtain two copies of the SLC45A2 gene; one from the sire, and one from the dam. A horse may have the cream allele or the non-cream allele on each gene. Those with two non-cream alleles will not exhibit true cream traits.
A statistical analysis of 1,369 offspring of five Franches-Montagnes stallions indicated that darker shades of chestnut and bay might follow a recessive mode of inheritance. [6] Rarely, a horse may be born with a reddish color similar to bay foals and darken over a few years to a solid brownish black or sometimes jet-black appearance.
A skewbald horse, chestnut with white patches. Skewbald is a colour pattern of horses. A skewbald horse has a coat made up of white patches on a non-black base coat, such as chestnut, bay, or any colour besides black coat. Skewbald horses which are bay and white (bay is a reddish-brown colour with black mane and tail) are sometimes called ...
