How many people on here own Duns?

[tinap]

I've got a palomino & white which says lemon & white (skewbald) on his passport xx

 

[Suzie86]

meeeee!

Although he is a completely different colour at the moment clipped!

Here he is in the summer......

And here he is now, fully clipped (I hate it )

And at the weekend....

excuse my face I was soaked!!

And....

I guess he is buckskin though as no dorsal stripe

 

[Ibblebibble]

yep, my daughter has a little mouse dun pony, complete with dorsal stripe, i fell in love with him the first moment we saw him as he is the same colour as a pony i used to lead treks out on good job daughter liked him too

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

those with white legs are probably due to being tobiano (like my yearling) or due to them carrying the sabino gene?

 

[appylass]

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!

Your pony is GORGEOUS! What is the breeding?

I have a grey dun highland too.

I have a buckskin with white legs, but she still has black points. She is in foal to a palomino so we are taking bets as to what colour it will be.

Thank you would love to see some more piccies of yours!

Dun Ellis at my yard (dorsal stripe is pale and hard to see from the photo) - she is one of nastiest natured ponies I know. To catch ponies in the field, you have to take a schooling whip to ward her off. She bites, kicks, doesn't do cuddles, is rarely seen with her ears forward and hates flatwork. As her current leaser put it "I want a cuddley, loving pony, but instead I have Ellis and she's, well, a mare!" So, not all duns are delightful! This little connemara has however got a great jumping brain and scope to match!

I have one who was sold to me as a silver dun . So for want of a better description thats what I have called him (not his name that's Sambucca ) but would like your opinions as to which type of dun he is cos he doesn't look very silver to me.

 

[Snowy Celandine]

I've got a grey dun. She's gone almost completely white now so you can only see a bit of black on her legs. Her dorsal and eel stripes have gone, along with her lovely dapples

 

[Ibblebibble]

Enfys i love all of your horses, will you adopt me please

 

[Meandtheboys]

I have just bought this youngster, can't wait to collect him in january - always been my dream to own a Dun.

 

[Paint Me Proud]

i am currently caring for a little pony who everyone calls grey. However I am suspicious of this as she has a lovely dorsal stripe.

What do you think?

 

[Katd66]

This is my 3yo buckskin.

He changes colour quite alot through the year as you will see below he goes from almost black to golden back to white!

2yo

3yo

They are all sooo yummy! My favourite breed is fjord and I love dun too. I am veiwing on my blackberry and it's distorting all of the pics. I've got a lovely selection of super short, long legged, barrel bellies to drool over.

All greys are born a colour and then 'grey out', so yes it is correct to call her grey, but she might have been dun at birth.

However, my fleabitten grey filly was born chestnut and she had a dorsal stripe (it's now quite faint) you can just see it in this photo of her with her dam

Her sire also had a dorsal stripe, he's now dapple grey, but here he is as a foal being very helpful and helping out in the kitchen.

thanks faracat.

I asked owner about her colouring earlier. I knew she would have been born a 'colour' and was interested to know if it was dun, however apparently she was much whiter in the summer (when she was about 6 months old) so now i am completely bemused.

 

[Meowy Catkin]

As far as I can work it out (Floss is my first grey), they like to change colour every six months. They are total fashionistas.

i would say they he is a mouse dun. is he a highland part bred? xx

 

[riding_high]

Appylass thankyou, i think he's my little star. he's a dartmoor pony and stands at 12.2hh now.

 

[Megibo]

Alright, he's not dun, but i do now have a dirty palomino skewbald!
