What Color?

Please tell me you had your mare HYPP tested before breeding her?

I thought this might help. Here are some current pics of the filly. Seems like the lighter points in the flank have dissapeared but the golden is still around her muzzle and eye.

This link shows more pics of the sire. Hope they help.

The mare is HYPP NN.

The foal is definitely brown, but neither parent is screaming brown to me. Has she been registered?

Upon further though, it is probably that either or both parents are actually brown, but very very dark in their expression.

Yes she has been registered. The mare's first foal was similar and looked like a bay for sure out of a chestnut and her last foal before this one was a chestnut out of a chestnut but ended up having a flaxen mane and tail. All the foals were lighter in their soft spots like creme or fawn. I just don't understand the whole genetic thing and was in denil that she could have a brown out of 2 black parents.

What a BUM!!
Oh, and I also agree that she is brown. Do you know what color sire & dam's parents were?

Either the sire or the dam is brown.

Pic off of APHA of the dam's registration picture and she gives the indication of being brown as well.

The mare is not brown at all. She is jet black. That is her foal picture and she was still changing into her adult coat. She never even looks chocolate nor does she even sun bleach.
