Genetics
Genetics are difficult, it took me a while to figure it out, but I'm glad I finally got it. They are so fun to do, ha. Genetics are passed down to foals (punette squares can help), and like this site said, "I find that the easiest way to think about horse color is to imagine it as a series of building blocks. Each color is built from a group of genes that act differently when combined with different bases."
All the information below is from this site.
