Update: Well our breeding season is over and we met all of our
goals for this past year. Make sure you look in on his foals
starting in early 2011! Thanks to all the reproduction folks @ Kansas
State University - they have helped us immensely this year
with our breeding and embryo collection programs.

We'll be adding more!
Keep Reading as we found out new information about his color
genetics!
Supernatural Fella
will always produce "foals of
color" on non-gray mares!
He's also Homozygous for the Agouti Gene (A/A).
So, just what does "foals of color" mean. Being a Cremello, Supernatural Fella carries 2 copies of the crème dilution
gene making him what's called a "double dilute". This means that he
will pass @ least 1 copy of the crème gene onto to all of his foals.
There is a lot of information out there about guaranteed color when
breeding to "double dilutes", but the thing that will always
genetically happen is a "double dilute" will pass on 1 copy of the
crème dilution gene to it's offspring. We'd prefer to say that this
is a crème dilution gene guarantee versus a color guarantee. The
gray gene is a dominant color gene over all other color genes. That
is why you will never get a "color" guarantee when breeding a
"double dilute" to a gray, because if the resulting foal gets a copy
of the gray gene from the gray parent, then it will eventually
turn gray, but will still carry a copy of the crème
dilution gene also.
Now that we know he is Homozygous for the Agouti gene, this means he
will never produce a smoky black or a silver smoky/smoky crème foal
when bred to a black, jet black, bay and/or buckskin mare. The
Agouti gene is the gene that restricts black to the points, mane and
tail. For example, a bay colored horse is really a black horse with
1 or 2 copies of the Agouti gene.
What this means for "White Boy" is the chances of producing a
buckskin went up substantially when he's bred to the colored mares
listed above, because he will not only pass a copy of the Crème gene
but also the Agouti gene! We are ecstatic about this news because we
just love Palomino's and Buckskin's! We adjusted his color chart
below to reflect this new information.
If you should have any questions about possible resulting colors
from breeding your mare to Supernatural Fella, please feel free to
contact us!
Also note, that there are actually over 60 "Colors" based on
genotype, of which most breed registries have narrowed down to ~13
to 16. We have not listed all of the possibilities below based on
genotype, and some we have listed would be registered as either
Palomino or Buckskin. For a more complete color chart for "White
Boy" please visit our farm site @
