	What's Dun is Dun
		But dun mane and tail frosting is diluted to a shade that is generally very similar to the color of the dun diluted body of the particular horse, rather than white like the frosting on a buckskin.
		The dun horse's coat must be diluted to an appropriate color corresponding with the effects of the dun dilute gene on that particular base coat color.
		It seems that the color of dun markings is directly related to the base color (the horse's color if not diluted by a dun gene) in that specific area where the particular dun marking is located.

	Equusite.com - Coat Colors and Patterns: dun horse color
		Dun horses have a sandy/yellow to reddish/brown coat.
		Dun horses always have a "dorsal" stripe, which is a dark stripe down the middle of their back.
		Bay duns have a bay color, but they are not bay since they have the dun characteristic of a dorsal stripe down the middle of their back.

	Equine Coat Colors - Color in Horses
		These foal coat colors are often confused with the dun factor dilution colors above, and produce surprises for people as the horses mature and shed out their foal coats.
		These colors demonstrate why it can be very difficult to predict a horse's final color from their foal coat color.
		In dun horses, especially on the foals, the stripe down the back will often be of slightly longer hair, and may be the remnant of a dorsal "mane", which the nyala antelope has to this day.

	Justamere Ranch -- Dun vs. Buckskin
		Dun is a similar color although, according to the IBHA, it is a "duller shade than buckskin." In the past, the dun color was often considered to be more sooty or smutty.
		A sorrel or chestnut base color would become red dun (pinkish or flesh-colored with red or chestnut points) when combined with the "dun" gene or palomino (golden body with a lighter or white mane and tail) when combined with the "c cr" gene.
		The only way for a horse to have one of these colors is if he carries a dilution gene which he must have received from one of his parents.

		Note: The buckskin colored horse with dun factor (dorsal stripe, leg barring, ear frames, shoulder stripes, face masking and cobwebbing) is the ideal color that ABRA was founded to preserve over thirty years ago.
		The base color of the mane must still be dark for the horse to be considered a true dun.
		The dun factor markings are grouped into five categories with each category scored from one to ten, based on the intensity and contrast of the markings.

		For example, you can have a dun paint, a red dun roan, or a grulla appaloosa, and it can interact with the other dilution genes, giving some unusual color combinations, such as the dunalino, also called a linebacked palomino, which is a combination of "dun" and "c cr" dilutions.
		So strong is the relation between the "dun" dilution and "primitive" markings, that these markings are now commonly called "dun factor" markings, and some registries have begun to use the presence or absence of striping as a means to try and distinguish between the different dilution genes.
		In some countries "dun" is still the term for any dilute horse (regardless of which dilution gene it comes from), and in the USA the terms "dun" and "buckskin" were used almost interchangeably for a similar colored horse prior to 1987 or so.

	Dun Horse Color, Genetics, Photos: Red Dun, Grulla, Bay Dun
		All duns have a dorsal stripe (but not all horses with a dorsal are duns).
		This is the dun on a bay base; the body is usually a yellow or tan color, and the points are dark.
		The body is a muddy-tan or brown color, not as yellow as a bay dun and not as silver as a grullo.

	Coat Color Genetics
		A scheme of coat color classification based on recognition of the effects of the alleles of seven genes provides the necessary rigor, and with training can be uniformly applied by anyone to define most of the common colors encountered in horses.
		For homozygous recessive colors, both alleles are written in the notation for color assignment, since a horse showing a color or pattern produced by recessives is by definition homozygous for the recessive alleles.

	Dun Central Station - Cross Ranch False Duns
		Since Yellow Girl is clearly a very golden color and lacks the presence of even a counter shading stripe, she was almost certainly not a dunalino, thus she could not have produced any dun or dun/cream foals unless she had been bred to a dun or dun/cream stallion.
		True dun factor markings do not disappear with seasonal coat changes, and are not susceptible to sun fading, but false dun (counter shading) markings are prone to sun fading and their presence generally comes and goes with seasonal coat changes.
		But their lack of producing true dun dilute shades and true dun factor markings, and a lack of grulla and red dun offspring as well, are vital points in proving the absence of the dun gene in these lines.

	CPArticle9
		Dun is a dominant gene, this means for a horse to be dun, it must have at least one dun parent.
		Although there is no genetic test for dun at this time, it is believed that there is no visual difference between a heterozygous dun (horse carrying one dun gene) and a homozygous dun (horse carrying two dun genes), but the homozygous dun would, of course, always pass on the dun gene to its offspring.
		The dun factor markings on a red dun will be the undiluted base sorrel color, so sometimes these markings are not as pronounced as on the other dun colors where the markings are fl or dark brown.

	Equine Color - Horse & Pony Color Genetics Information
		Dun is one of the dilution genes that affects both fl and red pigment.
		Since Dun closely resembles Buckskin when it's present on a Bay base color, it's common to hear the term Buckskin and Dun used to describe any horses that have a tan colored body with fl points whether there are primitive markings present or not.
		All Bay Duns, regardless of shade, or the term you personally use to describe it, will have fl legs although on some the fl may be faded to a chocolate color and also faded at the coronary band.

	BRINDLE HORSES
		Although there is no ironclad proof, it has long been presumed that the early horses were probably dun or grulla (grulla is Spanish for crane-the sandhill crane in particular which is slate-grey in color).
		Many wild species have coloration similar to dun and grulla such as elephants, rhinos, wildebeest, kangaroos, deer, koalas, mice, etc. Some have the coloration plus striping such as brindled gnu (wildebeest), striped-backed duikers, striped mongoose, striped hyena, and the extinct Quagga and Thylacine, to name a few.
		Though, at first, most of the documented brindles seemed to be red duns and grullas, there are now brindles that have base body colors of bay, brown, chestnut, palomino, and even grey.

	American Donkey and Mule Society
		The name of the color is taken from the fact that the body color is a visual gray of some shade, but the whole color is a probable genetic dun.
		This color progressively lightens with age, often going through a dapple-gray phase (rose gray is a horse term for a bay or red animal in an intermediate reddish-gray stage), until the animal turns pure white with age.
		When the color is doubtful we will register a foal as "color" (foal coat) and will change the color along with the height and mature photos when we reissue the certificate after the animal's third birthday.

	Welcome to IRC's Color Key
		Are colors that derive from diluted pigment, often changing the pigment from a deeper color to a lighter one.
		The dun color is a dilution of either fl or red on the body to grayish brown (grulla, pronounced “grew-ya”) or yellow.
		This color is the result of a chestnut background plus one Cremello gene which acts to reduce the red color of the chestnut coat to the yellow of the Palomino.

	The Norwegian Fjord Horse registry - Colors of the Norwegian Fjordhorse
		Uls dun ("ulsblakk") is a variety of the brown dun color caused by a factor which reduces the production of pigment, so-called diluted color.
		On a red or yellow dun horse with a monochrome forelock, mane and tail, the dorsal stripe can be indistinct and the horse may not have the zebrastripes at all.
		The brown dun color later became increasingly popular, especially the lighter shades, and it is now the dominating color.

	Heritage Breeds Southwest: "North American Colonial Spanish Horse Update, April, 2005"
		Colors of the Colonial Spanish Horse vary widely, and it is through the Spanish influence that many other North American horse breeds gain some of their distinctive colors.
		In many horses these base colors are combined with white hairs or patches to result in gray, roan, paint (tobiano, overo, and sabino types), pure white, and the leopard complex of blankets, roans, and dark spots usually associated with the Appaloosa breed.
		Different breeders select for several of these colors and patterns, but all can be shown to have been present in the Spanish horses at the time of the conquest and they are all part of the heritage of this horse.

	Dun Horse Color, Genetics, Photos: Red Dun, Grulla, Bay Dun
		This is the dun on a bay base; the body is usually a yellow or tan color, and the points are dark.
		The fl is diluted by the Dun gene to an off-fl, bluish, smoky-gray color; in some cases, the horses are more mousy-brown-tan, and in even more other cases, the horses are the color of the inside of a Three Musketeer candy bar.
		The body is a muddy-tan or brown color, not as yellow as a bay dun and not as silver as a grullo.

		Because it is such a rare color, it is easy to mistake a grulla for a different color, or a different color for grulla, especially if you have never seen one.
		Body color smoky or mouse-colored (not a mixture of fl and white hairs, but each hair is mouse colored); mane and tail fl; usually has a dorsal stripe and fl on lower legs.
		According to its color experts, AQHA prefers a horse exhibiting both the dilution of dun or creme, and the roan gene to be registered as its base color with the additional roan markings comment.

	Norwegian Fjords
		The Fjord horse retains the "wild" dun color of the original horse as well as the primitive markings which include zebra stripes on the legs and a dorsal stripe that runs from the forelock down the neck and back and into the tail.
		The pale or white dun is a very light body color with fl or gray stripe and markings.
		The yellow dun have a darker yellow stripe and markings, they may have a completely white forelock, mane and tail.

	DunGene
		D. Shoulder Bars - These patches of darker color are found around the shoulder and neck area of the horse. ; Some will have very dark markings and could have two or more patches of color on each side.
		If one of these is an obvious dun, then there is a possibility this horse is a dun. If neither the dam nor sire were duns, then it isn't possible that this horse is a dun. The pictures to the left are of Dusty's dorsal stripe, neck bars, leg bars, and darker points.
		As I said before, you must have at least one dun parent when breeding for dun foals. Your chances of getting a dun foal are 50% when breeding dun to non-dun. Below you will find different sceneries to follow depending on the color dun foal you hope to get.

		No. Unfortunately, we have many horses in our breed that are registered with an incorrect color. The information is only as good as the person supplying it to the registry. When a breeder registers a foal, there is no proof required to back up the color the breeder picks for the foal.
		If you do your color research on the dun gene, then you will have no doubts that my horses are duns. They have very obvious dun markings and come from known dun gene lines. You can find pictures of their dun factor markings on their individual web pages by clicking on their photo albums.
		No, currently there is no test for the dun gene. ; There has been work toward developing one and we one is made available soon. We try to stay on top of current research and will have ours tested when it becomes available.
