We know Engar carries the red dun recessive gene, so this foal will, too.
Lynda, don't you mean this foal "may" get the red dun gene?
According to the NFHR records, Engar is a brown dun. Only a red dun can
absolutely guarantee passing on a red gene to its offspring. A brown dun
with the recessive red would have a 50/50 shot of passing that red gene.
And if one were hoping for a red foal, each parent would have to have and
pass on a red recessive gene.
Cheers!
Karen
