This is a pic of a gelding I used to own. He is a spanish barb, and although the pic does not show it, he does have a stripe down the back and had webbing on his face (can't remember about legs but it looks like it). I always wondered, would he be considered a red.. or yellow... or what shade of dun.


Ugly spud isn't he? He was dumb and kicked (although I had it under control and the new owners let it get worse )... glad I got rid of him.

Classic light red dun. Some would call it "claybank", but that is just a term, means nothing, and sometimes speaks of dunalinos which he is not.

I totally agree with you on this one!!

Glad that you got rid of him too, I really don't like kickers... drive me nuts!!! That's too bad that the next owners let it get out of control..

He could be a dunalino, no way of knowing with out testing but he's certainly a red dun Reminds me of Peyton's color!

Well he was a rescue my MIL got and started on recovering him and I took over.. Its hard to turn down those starving ponies
I knew he was a kicker when I got him, but I was hoping he would grow out of it, but I got him to the point he would only kick in pasture with other horses if they bugged him.. but after I got rid of him they let him get away with to much

Here is another pic a couple months after my MIL got him, before I took him home, his mane is shaved because she had to de-lice him.. you can see how skinny he still was with free choice of hay and pasture

Found a pic of his stripe

Yep he is just a red dun. no cream gene there. I have seen them even lighter without a cream gene.

I've seen and had a red dun that was darker than that who did throw a palomino from a sorrel so it goes right back to you can have things that don't normally appear.

Here is his mom, she looks like a red dun too, my MIL ended up getting her too, although all the adult horses looked fine, they just didn't let the foal eat.
