Re: Metallic Black????????
Metallic grullo with a tiger eye. Actually, that's a double tiger eye. She's a tiger eye carrier, which she will most likely pass the eye onto her offspring.
Re: Metallic Black????????
Thanks! 
Re: Metallic Black????????
She's homozygous tiger eye. If you breed her to a tiger eyed stallion she will produce 100% tiger eyes. If you breed her to a tiger eye carrier, she will produce 50% tiger eyes, 50% carriers. If you breed her to a non-carrier, you will get 100% carriers. It's a guarantee.

Thanks Syn!
Re: Metallic Black????????
tg/tg = double Tiger Eye, visible on every coat colour
Tg/tg = single Tiger Eye, visible only in combination with Champagne
Tg/Tg = not Tiger Eye
Your mare is tg/tg - homozygous.
So when bred to a stallion that is Tg/Tg (not Tiger Eyed), these foals will be Tg/tg - they carry Tiger Eye, but it will be only visible if they also inherit Champagne from the sire.
When she is bred to another homozygous Tiger Eye, every single foal will also be homozygous for Tiger Eye.
But there's the possibility that the sire is Tg/tg - when he's Champagne, you will be able to see the Tiger Eye. When he's not, it may be a surprise (because it would be hidden, like I said). The foal can either be Tg/tg (50% chance) or tg/tg (50% chance).
