Hello
I was wondering, I just saw a mare who has pure knapstrup lines(both sire and dam have spots) but she is black all over, even no small markings that I can see from any of the pictures.
My friend is thinking of buying her colt, who is still very young at the moment(0,5years), but he doesn't express any spots..
Now the thing that interests me, is even though the colts dam is all black, how much of a possibility is it that the colt would produce spotted offspring in the future?
This is just out of my pure curiosity toward genetics and I'm not experienced at all when it comes to spots also, the colt would probably be gelded so no, we're not just trying to geta foal with flashy markings. Just would be interesting to know.
