Buckskins

Most of Casey's foals should be buckskin not dun.  If a foal of Casey's is dun, the dun factor would have been contributed by the mare.  Casey is a true buckskin (a bay with a creme gene).

Palominos

A Palomino is a chestnut or sorrel with a creme gene.  Since Casey is not homozygous black he can sire chestnuts, sorrels, and palominos.
 

 

Cremello

Casey has only sired one cremello.  A cremello is a chestnut or sorrel that has two copies of the creme gene, one from the dam and one from the sire. 

Unless your mare is a palomino, buckskin, smokey black, cremello, or a perlino you won't get a cremello or a perlino.  A perlino is a bay that has received two copies of the creme gene.  It will have the same body color as a cremello, but it's mane will be peach instead of white.

Smokey Black

A black foal that has one copy of the creme gene is a smokey black.  Sometimes it is hard to tell if you have a black or a smokey black unless you have it tested.

Black

Casey has several black foals, but it is a color that is sometimes hard to tell at birth.  People sometime think they have a grulla, but when they shed out as yearlings they are jet black.  Casey shouldn't sire a grulla unless the dam carries the dun gene. 

Bay or Brown

Since Casey is a bay underneath that creme gene he also sires them.  He only possesses one bay agouti, so he also sires black foals.

Chestnut or Sorrel

As Casey is not homozygous black he can also sire chestnut and sorrel foals.  This happens when he passes his red gene instead of his black gene to the foal.  The dam must also possess the red gene as it takes two red genes to make a red foal.

Grays & Roans

Casey will only sire gray and roan foals when the mare is a gray or roan.  I look at it like frosting on a cake.   They are born a base color, but can be gray or roan if the mother passes on her genetics.

Paints

When bred to a colored Paint mare, Casey usually allows the color to come out.
