You'd have to find a stallion with the same markings to get the best chance of a spotted foal c:

If you want to know what genes to look for, here's a quick rundown of how the spotting works in the game:

Appaloosa-style spots in Equiverse are controlled by three different genes; the Lp gene, and the PATN genes (both PATN1 and PATN2). You need both in order to have a horse show spotting.

The full-body leopard spotting like that comes from having a single Lp gene (Lplp) and either one or two copies of the PATN1 gene (PATN1patn1 or PATN1PATN1.) The spot pattern will be a little different depending on whether you have one or two PATN genes, but both will be leopard patterned.
If you have two copies of the Lp gene (so LpLp in your horse's genotype) along with either one or two PATN1 genes, it will produce a few-spot horse, meaning it will still have the full body pattern, but with more white and fewer spots. (Like this horse of mine.)

The other appaloosa type pattern is controlled by the Lp + PATN2 genes. Lplp + PATN2patn2 or Lplp +PATN2PATN2 will give you a blanket appaloosa pattern (like this horse of mine).
Having LpLp + PATN2patn2 or PATN2PATN2 will give you a snowcap (like this horse.)

If you only have Lp genes (either Lplp or LpLp) your horse will be a "varnish roan" which gives it a little bit of white over its coat, but no spots (like this horse).
PATN1 is dominant over PATN2, so if a horse has Lp genes and both PATN1 and PATN2 genes, it will be a leopard or a few spot, not a blanket/snowcap.
If a horse has no Lp genes, but does have PATN genes of some kind, nothing will show on the horse, though it could still pass those genes down to its offspring.
