With regard the colouring, from what I remember of genetics, it's most likely going to be grey. Grey is a dominant gene over black but I say most likely because Friesians carry an Ed gene, as opposed to the EE or Ee needed for black. Ed is more dominant than the other two, but I'm not sure its more dominant over grey.
With the high step, it's chance. There is really no way of knowing that until you have the foal...
