How many people on here own Duns?

[HappyHorses:)]

I do! My yearling pictured here. His dapples were stronger than this in the summer.

I have a dun - a fjord

 

[Trinity Fox]

Yes I have one I think one of my favourite childhood ponies being the same colour made me buy him, he is a higly strung fart but really loving even though he is a bit of an old codger now.

 

[Janah]

JFTD, my boys tail is certainly darker down the middle.

Still got my very first pony who's dun - not the yellowy dun but the bay colour with the dorsal stripe etc.

 

[dafthoss]

My boy looks quite a lot like yours. From forum lurking you are from Cambridge? Do you go to local shows like rampton etc? There is one that looks a lot like Bailey that is always at shows round here that I have walked towards a few times and only when I've got closer thought ahhh that is not my horse!

Yeah that will be us come say hi next time you see us.

 

[ClobellsandBaubles]

I do 16hh buckskin gelding Spanish x TB (bred in Spain). Champagne coloured (so quite pale) with a star and snip and frosting in the mane and tail.

We have a total five dun/buckskins on our yard, so can take a lorry load out competing - now that gets some attention

They sounds stunning any chance of some piccies

I learned to ride on a new forest pony who was supposed to be silver dun I'm not quite convinced though I posted a picture before somewhere *toddles off to find it *

[paddy555]

another dun owner here with a horse with a temperament to die for. So, why do so many duns seem to have such nice natures?

 

[DunDally]

Hi Cloball, Yes they are all rather good looking (mine especially ) would love to post some piccies and actually did try to of my boy but failed miserably As you can see, I am fairly new to this so still need to learn the skill of posting photos

 

[Pipkin]

I've got a buckskin arab x tb

 

[KVH]

I have two dun highlands of the grey and creamy varieties.

Fergie:

Excuse my ignorance, but what makes a grey dun?
He is lovely by the way.

 

[evilmavis]

I do, this is my 16 month old QHxTB

Hope it works

 

[poacher82]

Meee! Some pics of summer coat and winter wool - including funny dark patches on his neck that show up more when clipped out. Seems to get a bit blotchier every year actually! Love my dun!

Dun-no! Sorry, that was terrible but couldn't resist! My trainer swears he's 'never met a bad dun', says it almost every lesson!

Love mine to bits and he has an awesome temperament - I can razz him up and play silly, or sit on him half asleep, do anything with him. Generally do agree with the generalisation they are all lovely, except one when I was quite small that pulled the rope out my hands, galloped off and double barelled me as it went.. think she was hormonal though!

 

[Vicki-Finn-Perry]

God No's what mine is!!

He is wrongly passported as a dun...maybe more of a buckskin??

 

[Meowy Catkin]

maybe more of a buckskin??

I think that you are right.

He's super cute, I so want to hug him.

I'm not 100% sure on this, but wouldn't a 'grey dun' be a grullo?

 

[PerlinoPlank]

My best friend owns my girlie's 1/2 sister, in fact she bred them both
She's a buckskin QH:

And one of my girlie so she doesn't feel left out =D perlino QH:

We have this boy who is rising 4yo, backed and turned away. He's 16hh and by a connemara pony out of an ISH mare.

They don't start out grey..that one probably started out mouse (bay) dun and then went grey owing to the presence of grey genes...it will always be a dun though

Very interesting, thankyou!

 

[riding_high]

hope this works, i've been told my pony is a chocolate dun, he's got the dorsal stripe, zebra stripes on his legs and 2 stripes either side of his shoulder (like donkeys have!). he goes alot darker in the winter and very fluffy!

 

[riding_high]

yikes sorry that came out very big. apologies.

 

[abbieandfiona]

Have a mouse dun highland mare.

 

[whisp&willow]

i always thought i had a dun... but have since learned that she is in fact buckskin, as she has no dorsal stripe or barring.

whisper: arab x conn x welsh (in foal in this pic!)

and she produced a lovely bucksin tobiano filly for me! Willow...

i love buckskins...

 

[Captainmouse]

I have a buckskin Trakhaner x Arab I would post a piccie if I had a clue.

I am by no means an expert on colour genetics, but I understood buckskins/duns had black points, but somebody posted a pic of white legs???

we always refferred to palamino/whites as lemon and whites years ago
