In the USA there is only one breed called Paint, that is the American Paint Horse, whose parent registry is the American Paint Horse Association (APHA). All other part colored horses are pintos.Other breeds may carry the pinto genes/ patterns, but are not considered Paints as they do not come from Paint horse stock. For instance Gypsy Vanners ( also called Gypsy Cobs, Tinker horses, and colored cobs) carry the pinto genes, but are not Paints.
What are all the genes of a given population called?
Relative frequency
What are the 2 basic color genes 4 horses?
There are not two basic color genes for horses, but there are two basic pigments: red (phaeomelanin) and black (eumelanin). A horse who displays red pigment will be chestnut, and a horse who displays black pigment will be black. All horses carry both red and black pigment. Bay horses have a gene called the Agouti modifier. It pushes black pigment away from the body of the horse, leaving the mane, tail, and legs black. The three basic horse colors are black, bay, and chestnut. All other horse colors are modifications of these colors.

What color horse will you get if you breed a black horse with a chestnut horse?
It depends on the horse's genetics. Chestnut is recessive to black, therefore a chestnut horse always carries two chestnut genes but a black horse could be carrying two black genes OR a black and a chestnut, but the black is dominant therefore the horse has a black coat. Think of it as the black coat always sits 'on top' of the chestnut coat so if a horse has a black gene it will always show up but chestnut will only show up if there are no black genes at all. If you breed a homozygous dominant (two black genes) black horse to a chestnut, the foal will always be heterozygous dominant black. (One black gene and one chestnut gene) If you breed a heterozygous dominant (one black one chestnut) black horse to a chestnut, the foal has a 50% chance of being heterozygous dominant black and a 50% chance of being homozygous recessive chestnut. (two red genes) If you have no idea what your black horse's color genes are, think of it as having a 75% chance of a black foal, 25% chance of a chestnut foal.
The names of all the horse-breeds?
there is many. i cannot name them, but there is over 300!
