    In order for a recessive trait to be apparent in an organism, the organism must receive a copy of the allele for that trait from both parents.

    Let the:

    black coat: B

    brown coat: b

    Trotter: T

    pacer: t

    The offspring received both of the recessive alleles because it demonstrates the recessive phenotypes. Therefore, they genotype of the offspring is:

    bbtt

    The black horse that is a pacer that can produce this offspring will be:

    Bbtt

    Therefore, the brown horse's genotype must be:

    bbTt

    The offspring will receive b from both parents and t from both parents.
