The original experiment done was in the 1820s, and it was done by a guy who was trying to convince the government of Britain that he could create superior horses by crossbreeding quagga (now extinct zebra subspecies) with regular horses.

The mares bred with quaggas were already mated and had foals. Then the mares were paired with regular horses, which produced horses with stripes. Fetal diploid cells left behind can, in fact, "colonize" a new fetus. It's extremely rare, but it can theoretically happen. However, it would not have been the stallions themselves passing down anything because, as mentioned, it is impossible for sperm to survive for more than a week at the absolute maximum.

 The later Penicuik Experiments conducted by Prof. Ewart in the 1890s were unable to replicate anything at all shown in lord mortons mare, and he concluded that the foals of lord mortons mare must have been expressing primitive markings. Primitive markings are very sparse stripes that can appear directly on top of regular horses. Based on the paintings made of lord mortons mare, that's more or less what it looked like, and Ewart was correct. It had a lot of hype around it because telegony was a popular theory of heredity at the time, but mandelian heredity has been more or less proven since then.

Most michrocimerism comes from mother -> fetus and fetus -> mother likewise. Everyone has genes "absorbed" from the mother in the womb. In rare circumstances, it's prior fetus -> new fetus (but only small amounts of dna). The only thing here that is scientifically sound is that if you have children with a single mother, the new children (can) have DNA from the first child. But, even still, it's unlikely to happen and more unlikely to be anything even remotely significant.
