Horse Coat Color Calculator

A foal gets one copy of each color gene from each parent. Pick two coats to start, or change the genes to explore.

These are possible colors, not a promise. A coat name alone cannot tell us every hidden gene a horse carries.

Example coats use one possible set of genes. Change the genes if you know more about a parent.

Scientists are still studying how flaxen manes and tails are inherited.
