What is Homozygous?

Each horse has a "base" coat color. They are either Red (e) or Black (E). The Red gene is always recessive to the Black gene. Chestnuts and shades of chestnuts, which are Red horses, are known to be homozygous for Red. This is because the chestnut gene is recessive, and thus requires two copies of the Red gene to show red as the base coat color.

On the other hand, Gray is NOT a base coat color. As example, we humans have our base hair color of black, brown, and blonde. Then with age we turn gray. So, mechanics of grey in a horse are the same, a horse that is homozygous or heterozygous for Red or Black can also be gray.

Black is a dominant base coat color. Black can be either heterozygous (Ee) or homozygous (EE). Heterozygous blacks can either produce horses that are red or black in base coat color. Heterozygous black means the horse carries one Black gene and one Red gene. Since Black is dominant over Red, the horse appears with a black base coat color (black, bay, brown). When a heterozygous Black horse is bred to a Red horse, the resulting foal can be a Red horse. Two Heterozygous blacks can also produce a Red, if each passes on their red gene to the same foal. This is why breeding a bay to a bay can turn out a chestnut foal.

A homozygous Black can only produce black or shades thereof (black, bay, brown). The horses at Witez Black Arabians that have been tested as a Homozygous black, means there was no Red detected in their DNA. These horses can be assumed to be homozygous for black pigment (EE). They cannot have red foals, regardless of the color of the horse they are bred too. The basic color of the resulting offspring from our homozygous Blacks will be black, bay, or brown. Also, depending on genes at other color loci, the horse may be bay, buckskin, grulla, perlino, gray, or any of these colors with the white hair patterns overo, tobiano, roan or appaloosa, depending on the non homozygous color of the horse mated to by the homozygous Black. Grey mares have a 50/50 chance to produce a grey foal. However, all offspring will have the base colors as earlier mentioned.
