The only breedings that could give you a buckskin are a buckskin or a perlino. I am not sure they are even found in the warmbloods.

The percentages depend on several factors. You need three genes to get a buckskin: a black so E, an agouti so A, and one cream dilution so C. Your horse is eecc (and probably aa as well considering she is a TWH) If the perlino was EEAACC then the percentage is 100%. However most perlinos are EeAaCC so the percentage is 25%

If you breed to a buckskin which is EeAaCc then your percentage is 12.5%.

Now if the horse is gaited in will have a little value but as an ungaited horse its value will be very low.

Now why in the world would you pay several hundred dollars to breed a 22 year old horse in todays market which is risking her life, when you can buy a buckskin for the price you want. I know you may want a foal from your horse but is it wise?

Read a couple of the other answers to your question. Its a crap shoot at best. I worked for a Thoroughbred breeder. We bred two half sisters to the same stallion and they were both dark bays. The foals, one chestnut and one bay. Its not always about what color mom and dad are. It all depends on gene pool and what are the dominate genes. Also if this is the first time you are thinking of breeding. he are a couple of things to think about. 1 is this new foal worth the possible death of your mare? 2 what are the breeding and all the vet bills going to cost? 3 hard question, do you have the knowledge and skill to raise a foal? 4 last with all the horses out there that need a good home and with the market the way it is. If you want a buckskin horse would you be better off just buying one as a yearling or two year old. At least you would also have an idea of what its confirmation might be.

A buckskin is a dilute form of bay.

I am not clear on your question. Are you asking what to breed to a liver chestnut to get a buckskin?

That would depend upon the genetic mix of the mare and sire in the chestnut as well as the horse you are breeding to. This would give you percentages, not a guarantee.

A Chestnut mare to a Perlino would give you better chances at a Buckskin. If Homozygous then 100% chance for Buckskin.

Its possible the foal could be a different color,

look on the chart horses arent really like Crayola paint you dont mix them to get a diffrent color. This might not awnser your question correctly , but thats the impression I got! I really hope this helps!
