The stallion is het snowflake the mare is not snowflake at all. It's possible for them to have a het snowflake baby but you would not know unless you bred it to another snowflake and the foal was homozygous. Snowflake only shows in homozygous form on horses that have at least 1 copy of lp

SInce the mom does not carry snow flake the foal would only be het snow flake. That means the foal could pass it down but would not show it himself because snowflake must be hom to show. Hope that helps!

The sire is het, so he has a 50% chance to pass on the snowflake gene. I don't see any snowflake on the mares side though, so she may not carry it. If you get lucky, you might get one, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

I shouldn't have said the mare is not. I should have said "the mare has no visable snowflake in her background" but if one of the foundations she goes back to happened to pass it along all the way through it's possible. Slim chance but possible lol.
