I bred my KIT Mix pasture today, and one of my mares did not produce a foal. I need help understanding why that happened.

Here's the mare:

1G KIT Ribbon Winner E15

Here's the stallion:

1G KIT Ivy League

I know that W3 can be lethal when combined with certain genes if the white factor is high, but the highest white factor between these two is medium, so I didn't think they could produce a lethal white foal. And I've paired them successfully before.
Any help to understand the problem would be much appreciated.

Splash white is a WF booster. Probably got too much from double splash.

Ok. Thank you.

Did you not get a message that the foal had too much white and did not survive?

Nope, I didn't get a message. I let the pasture auto breed by putting the stallion in in the morning and coming back to check in the evening.

Ahh, I dont know if Auto breeding gives the message ; I know when i "hand" breed a pasture it does give foal xzy from Stallion ABC and Mare DEF did not survive due to an excessive amount of white factor ( or how ever its worded ). I dont know if it does that on autobreeding
