A “blue” dun, or grullo. A red dun. The dun gene is a dilution gene that affects both red and black pigments in the coat color of a horse. The dun gene lightens most of the body while leaving the mane, tail, legs, and primitive markings the shade of the undiluted base coat color. A dun horse always has a dark dorsal stripe down the middle ...
Equine coat color genetics determine a horse 's coat color. Many colors are possible, but all variations are produced by changes in only a few genes. Bay is the most common color of horse, [2] followed by black and chestnut. A change at the agouti locus is capable of turning bay to black, while a mutation at the extension locus can turn bay or ...
A dilution gene that produces what looks like point coloration, but from a completely different genetic mechanism is the dominant Dun gene, which dilutes the color of the body coat but not the points, including primitive markings—a dorsal stripe down the back and, less often, horizontal striping on the upper legs. On a bay base coat the dun ...
Primitive markings are a group of hair coat markings and qualities seen in several equine species, including horses, donkeys, and asses. In horses, they are associated with primitive breeds, [1] though not limited to such breeds. The markings are particularly associated with the dun coat color family. [2] All dun horses possess at least the ...
Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN), the legislative assemblies of Malaysian states. Dün (band), a French progressive rock band active 1978-1981. Dun & Bradstreet, an American credit reporting agency. Dun comma or enumeration comma, a Chinese punctuation mark. Dun Cow, a brown bovine; a common motif in English folklore.
A red dun has a light reddish- tan body and dark red primitive markings and points Red duns have a chestnut base coat with the dun gene (one or two copies). Their body color is pale, dusty tan shade that resembles the light undercoat color of a body-clipped chestnut but with a bold, dark dorsal stripe in dark red, a red mane, tail and legs.
Buckskins coloring is a hair coat color referring to a color that resembles certain shades of tanned deerskin. Similar colors in some breeds of dogs are also called buckskin. The horse has a tan or gold colored coat with black points (mane, tail, and lower legs). Buckskin occurs as a result of the cream dilution gene acting on a bay horse.
The colouration is genetically a bay-based dun further diluted by a single allele of the cream gene, what is sometimes called a "buckskin dun" in other settings. [6] The yellow dun (gulblakk) is the rarest colour aside from kvit (see below). [5] It is a red dun with an additional dilution factor that makes the body a light cream colour.
