Is it possible to breed a blue eyed apricot horse?
If this is possible can someone please explain what needs to be done to make this happen.. Also if I am breeding an apricot mare to a non apricot stallion, what genetics does he need to make the foal an apricot?

Yep, below is an example.

Splash can cause blue eyes. Either of the parents will need to carry splash.
Apricot is = prlprl
So the stallion needs to be = Prlprl
To be effective to produce an apricot foal the stallion must not have EE. Ee can still produce apricot, but EE cannot and ee is preferred. Dilute stallions will cover up the apricot so steer clear of perlino's and cremello's.

PrlPrl means it doesn't carry pearl and can't throw Apricots no matter what mare it is paired with. |

ok.. finding a stallion with ee and Prlprl who is EEE and has PPP requirements is almost impossible.. and the ones I do find are really expensive and not good producers.. guess I have a new mission! thanks for all the help

Splash White and Frame can cause blue eyes on an Apricot. |

Thanks everyone for your help.. I was able to find one stallion with PPP requirement and a breeding fee under 5k.. I am on a mission to breed a EE apricot stallion now :)
Next question is does anyone have any PEE combo stallions they would brood out to me for under 3k per breeding?? all my mares are PPP+

I have this EEE apricot guy (and his EEP apricot sabino full brother) that I'd be willing to put up for stud. I could also lower his reqs to PPP if necessary. https://horseeden.com/horse.php?id=15354769 |
