My Adea Is Dun....or is she buckskin?

I personally don't think it looks dun to me. She could have grulla, bay dun or red dun if she is dun. It would not be a strong indicator she carries the dun gene, it would be proof imo.

Of course if she passes cream with it, it might be hard to say "yes, this is dun".

This has nothing to do with what color she is or isn't but after having been through a HUGE hassle with AQHA over making corrections to a horses papers I wouldn't advise anyone to do it unless they had a very strong reason for doing it. My situation was in regards to the white markings on a filly I bred. She had enough white that they requested photos before they'd register her so I sent some. When her papers finally come the drawings look nothing like the mare so I call and they tell me to return the papers along with additional photos. Long story short, it took months and numerous phone calls, more photos, and ultimately DNA testing on the filly before they finally sent me her "corrected" papers. When they came the markings on them looked exactly like the first set!

I gave up. The whole thing was ridiculous because while the filly had a fair amount of white on her she wasn't even close to being excessive.

Since it's not terribly uncommon to see a horses color listed wrong on their papers I wouldn't worry about it.
