Ok so I'm bored and I noticed people enjoyed sharing their dun horses so I'd decided I'd expand to other cool colors :). So share your creme's: palomino, buckskin, double creme's: Perlino, cremello, champagnes, pearls, duns, silvers or horses with a combination of those genes. Pics of cool things your color dilution gene changes like eye color, dorals, etc are also would be nice to share. And if you want to share your other horse babies that's fine too :D. Feel free to share a bit about them if you want.

Here's mine:
Jackpot the Dunskin a very stout 9 month old. He's the biggest 9 month old I've ever had. Lol






Joy palomino (Docs Golden Joy). She is ten years old and working on learning to sort cattle and lil bit of barrel racing.

Ah don't take those halter judges hate to heart they expect your horse to have a big massive body on tiny fine bones and feet so its navicular by the time it's five. Your horse will be useable and is pretty colored to boot! But yeah he's short my coming two year old and him are the same height. There's still some growing time left but he may not get much bigger.

Question how can he have a brother that is 3/4th's?

These are Foundation QH judges so they are supposed to judge different, but there will be politics wherever you go. Sure, Dusty isn't 1500 pounds, but his legs are correct and has great feet. He has an ugly neck, but soft eyes. Doesn't bother me a whole lot, I'm not really competitive in halter anyways:P thanks! Maybe the judges are just blinded by the zebra stripes :P

I get that question a lot:P

Lance is his brother. Dusty's dam, is the dam of Lance's dam. They have the same sire...it's confusing xD

Love looking at all the duns, buckskins, and so on...

I have a question, I put 30 days on this 4 year old gelding. He was out of a big blk/wht paint/percheron stallion, and his dam was 1/4 Saddlebred and 3/4 QH (sorrel or chestnut, I can't remember). He was a dream to ride. But what would you call his coloring?



He was a big boy, at around 16.2 hh


A far away pic


Here is his half sister, who is out of a QH stud

Either brown or bay with pangre I'm not sure from the photos but that's my guess. You can always make a thread about him I bet chiilaa and Posiedon would know for sure but I think with black bred to chestnut you can only get bay/brown black or sorrel.

EDIT: looking again he kinda has that brownskin (brown + cream) look to him so maybe the sire had a hidden cream gene since it doesn't show on black.

Thanks! I know pretty much nothing about color genetics. I did buy a little book called Horse Colour Explained, by Jeanette Gower. It's an incredible book, but most of the types and and types 2s all went right over my head. LOL!

My boy, Hunter! Going by what the dentist says rather than the previous owner, he's about to turn 25. We've always believed he was a palomino, but recently we've started wondering if he's actually a dunalino. He has a dorsal stripe and a lot of black in his tail, as well as the red highlights in his mane and tail... What do you guys think?

Got any pictures of his dorsal and a close pic of his legs? I'm curious to see of he has dun factor.

They don't have to have the baring and it can be hard to see on a pally. For me it's hard to confirm the dorsal without a good photo. Do you have a shot taken from behind him. Here's my dunskins's dorsal to compare to yours. Are the edges of the dorsal crisp or messy?

From those pictures it looks to be just sooty caused dorsal the edges are smudgy. That's probably why he has so many black hairs in is tail/mane and why his body color is so dark.

I have a palomino filly. I think she has the sooty and the pangare gene. And I'm guessing that she's a sabino too.


Her eyes are not really brown, but they have a dark grayish tone.


Her mane is gray.


Countershading dorsal stripe.


Dark ear tips.



And dapples! And as you can see, gray mane, white tale.



When she did shed her babyfuzz, her coat got really dark.

Here's an updated pic of our little girl, who is not very little anymore. She's starting to shed out and I'm seeing so sooty in her face, I think:) You can also see the line on her back with all that hair and the dapples!

Peppy, you got an updated pic of Jackpot?

Also isn't jackpot a chunk of a colt he is huge for his age. He's going to be a tank of a horse. He's almost caught up to Jet who is 9 months older! He seems to be in an awkward growth spurt stage too. :D

Here you go, Peppy Barrel Racer!
The first photo is Killian, our stallion.
Second is his first foal, Keegan, a smoky black solid.
Third is his second foal, Rowan, a buckskin splash sabino.
And last is his third foal and first filly, Lily, a smoky black tobiano.

Killian's 5th foal is due the end of May and is a full sibling to Keegan and Lily. Can't wait!
