Not sure about this one

[Cottens]

Hi !
I think this horse is a liver bay dun, but I'm not really sure.

Also, I would like to know if I guessed the dam right :
Ivette

I think she's a liver grulla.

Thanks !

Both are Bay duns

Thanks ! Are you sure about the dam ? She looks too greyish to be bay... Is it because of the dun gene ?

Anyway, I have a new lady and I have a hard time guessing her color :
Pearl

At first, I thought she was a perlino, but her mane looks too light... So maybe a silver perlino ?

yes the dun gene causes the greyish look

Your horse there is a Silver Perlino

Okay

You're a pro, thanks !!

I have two new horses :
They both seems to be at least buckskin :

This one seems to be mealy buckskin :
Galaxy

And I'm not really sure about her, but I think she has the dun gene... So dunskin, which is strange, because neither of the parents have the dun gene :

Galaxy is indeed a buckskin pangare (aka mealy), but there is also dun there, do you see the stripes at the top of his black legs? That's another indication of the dun gene.

Beauty you also have correct, She is also a buckskin dun (aka dunskin), and she inherited the dun from her dam. Pearl has the dun gene, though on HWO, we do have such a thing as 'cryptic' which means, so lightly expressed to be unseen. But you can see it quite readily in Pearl's pedigree, especially on Poets Ageless Dream, the dam, which has a style of dun that shows minimal descriptive factors (no stripes at all), just the dun mask.

As a last note, cryptic's often you can't tell if it carries the gene or not, until it appears on the foals. So unless you know they're homozygous for the gene, trial and error is the only real way to know.

I was not sure if I was seeing things or if he really has the dun gene

Ooh ! Okay, thanks !
The dam gave me a new foal, she looks exactly like her mother, so she must have the dun gene too !

I like this x) If it's too easy, it's no fun

I forgot, but I also wanted to ask :
Is the dark tip of the ears caused by the dun gene ?
