Well at my farm their is a skewbald warmblood in foal and the sire is a chestnut. The patches on the mare are a light chestnut colour and the dad is also light chestnut. Has anyone any ideas what colour the foal will be?

Either chestnut, or chestnut tobiano (chestnut skewbald).

If mum has two tobiano genes it'll definitely be chestnut tobiano. If she has one there's a 50% chance of chestnut, and a 50% chance of chestnut tobiano. :)

(Assuming mare has no black points anywhere and isn't some form of bay or bay dilute).
