Definitely sounds like a lethal breeding. It will show the mare as bred, it will up the stallions foal count, but the foal won’t ever appear. You also won’t get a message in the pasture like you will with hand breeding or a straw/egg breeding. Links will help us determine what happened, as Obsidian said.

Still new to all this, so any help is appreciated...Thank you

And it's fine, we were all new to this once upon a time! No question is a silly question

As ObsidianKitsune said, we were all newbies when we started, and while some of us had a bit more knowledge than others, many were pretty new to horses, their colors and markings, and/or the technicalities of the genetics involved in breeding. We like new players here, and are always willing to explain things in this very complex game.

Here's a link to a portion of the FAQ User Guide linked in the left margin. It will help you with understanding most of the dangerous genes--Frame, OLW and the many, many mutations of the Kit genes. There is also a demonstration of how a Punnet Square, a basic genetics prediction tool, can help you understand why breeding certain horses together can be risky.

Always remember, in this game there are NO stupid questions, only things you haven't learned about yet, and there's nothing to be ashamed about in that.
