can welsh ponies be dun?

[Gloi]

Mine too. And leg barring and faint barring at the withers.

Was he dun though? He looks smoky black.(Black plus creme)

There is a Welsh silver and dun group on Facebook with some interesting ponies.

Yes he’s grulla, has had several dun offspring to solid mares.

My connie came to me at 4 already grey but I have a feeling he was buckskin (and possibly with nd1 after reading this thread? he certainly had what looked like a dorsal stripe for a while) before greying out.

He went through some very lovely colours from dark dapple grey to rose grey and now getting more flea-bitten every year

Is it expensive to have them tested? would be purely for my own curiosity...

4 years old (let’s ignore my questionable techniques with the baby pony… teenage naivety at its finest for you! )

My daughter has one of his offspring, a red dun.

We need to start using the correct terminology for color because there is a massive difference between a real dun and buckskin. The buckskin is just bay that doesn’t have red in there coat which makes them appear yellow same with a palomino . There is a wide range of shades to white looking to golden to completely brown shades breeders use the world dun because it earns them more money I don’t think it’s just a Irish/ uk thing there is a marketing strategy for it. The reason behind it is because buckskin is extremely common color in others countries usa they are massive amounts of them. Most Connemara pony’s are buckskin they just grayed out so you can’t see it. Real dun is different you can get chestnut dun black dun and bay dun they have a very strong strip on there backside Norwegian Fjord Horse are real dun horses they exist in some uk and Irish breeds.

Not quite, a buckskin is a bay horse with 1 copy of the cream dilution gene and palomino is a chestnut horse with 1 copy of the cream gene.
