 Breeding    Black 


This page is intended as a quick  colour guide only,.


 The Black horse, particularly the enigmatic Black Arabian Stallion

 has been highly desired and the subject of fantasy for many.


The chances of producing black are increased by the amount of close- up black parentage within the pedigree.


Our order of preference for breeding black is;-

black

liver chestnut

chestnut

brown

bay

grey


Breeding with

Taywoona Qovou

has so far produced

7 foals

#from 3 Chestnuts

- 2 chestnut

-1 liver chestnut

- 1 black

#from 2 Bays

- 3 brown

#from 1 Brown

- 1 black

#from black

- 1 black


At Hallowmere, although we revere the black Arabian, our Arabian mare selection has been based on quality, movement and temperament.

We will not compromise the former in the quest for colour.


Successfully breeding  Black

is attainable once we understand the genetic  involved.

There are several sources available in hard copy and on the www.

Breeding Black

x  Black

black or chestnut


x  Chestnut

 chestnut, liver chestnut, bay or black

liver chestnut gives a much higher probability of black

h- can only produce bay, brown or black


x  Bay

 bay, brown or black


x  Brown

 brown or black


x  Grey

can produce grey, chestnut, bay, brown or black,

 possibilities are determined by the colour the grey was at birth and do not exclude the  high probability of grey foal,

[if the foal coat is black at birth the foal will most probable be grey.]
