Lots of controversy.

Remember it took scientists a hundred years to accept floating continents and actual impact craters on earth.

@shotgunner , vegasjames I went to Shotgunners link, put in two black horses for sire and dam. First generation had a 6% chance for a red coat. Then I put in a black sire and red dam 37.5% black 37.5% red 25% dun so you can see that i would not take long. Vic

Black is actually a recessive trait.

And many colors are truly dominant. In which only one parent need have the color for 50% (or all) of the offspring to show it.

Certainly 80 generations is plenty to mix up the Spaniards genetics into what you see today.

James I think you want this to be true. No amount of want in the world will changes simple facts.

Not from the things I have read. Black is dominant to the red gene in horses and red is recessive:

Very interesting.  I have never heard about the horse. I know they found giant sloth remains in the cave and there used to be tons of Native American artifacts in the cave. We were told back in 6th grade that some guy was collecting artifacts in the cave and we collected what he wanted he put the rest in the 6th chamber (the largest) and dynamited it.  I spend a lot of time out near Gypsum Cave but have never gone to it. Chamber 4 collapsed a while back so I never considered it stable enough to explore. Maybe with the finds they are getting they could be trying to stabilize it. Not sure.

I have ever you the link to the industry standard for equine genetics!

Every "wild horse" herd I have seen in Oregon were not that tame at all. The stallion would round up his herd and then face you. Never seen a herd without a stallion. The American natives never had horses until after the Spanish brought them over.

*L* You know, I think I spend more time reading about interesting topics folks bring up here than I did studying in school. I love this place!.....Mel
