Thanks! I keep getting Champagnes (Gold and classic), do you know if I'll ever get another color if I keep inbreeding, or do I have to find some random stallion to stud to?

You wount get another color as far as I know, but I think that finding a stud would help you get other colors :D

If you get gold and classic champagnes that means that you have extension gene in your herd - chestnut (e/e) is recessive and black (E/e or E/E) is dominant. Champagne (Ch/ch or Ch/Ch) is also dominant. You can potentially get chestnuts and blacks and possibly (wild) bays/browns (agouti (bay, wild bay and brown) only shows up on a black coat so there is a possibility one of your chestnuts could be carrying agouti. There are recessive genes that your horses could be carrying but the likeliness of that depends on how far back those genes were confirmed.

I recommend keeping COI under 60% in any case. Is there a specific colour you're looking for?

Then you will need to introduce grey and probably bay. I would also recommend introducing chestnut and black because there is a possibility of your herd being homozygous or mostly homozygous champagne - which will make non-champane very unlikely to impossible to obtain without adding outside blood.
