An equine coat color calculator is a tool that predicts the coat color of a foal based on the coat colors of its parents. It is a valuable tool for breeders who want to plan their breeding programs and produce foals with specific coat colors.
Equine coat color is determined by genetics, and there are many different genes that can affect the color of a horse’s coat. Some of the most important genes include the agouti gene, the extension gene, and the cream gene. The agouti gene controls the distribution of black and red pigment in the hair shaft, the extension gene controls the overall darkness of the coat, and the cream gene dilutes the coat color.
