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 . 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? Posted via Mobile Device
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 Posted via Mobile Device
Haha interesting lol! That is confusing! I think your right they get blinded by the awesome zebra stripes! They are just jealous lol. Posted via Mobile Device
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?

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. Posted via Mobile Device
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?
You can kinda see in the last picture that he does have the stripe, but I haven't noticed any barring on his legs. Is that something that can fade with age?
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?
His stripe is not that wide, but it's there. Currently he's clipped and I don't think you can see it now, but I'm gonna look through my pictures to see if I can find one.
First picture: 10/26/12
Second picture: 01/08/11 ignore girl on left lol... His butt is barely in there! You can also see how grayish his tail looks from the black hairs
Third picture: 09/13/11 excuse his legs being so far apart haha.. but you can see how dark his body gets
Fourth picture: 11/17/12
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. Posted via Mobile Device
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!
Well if course I have updated jackpot pics !!!!!!
He is still hairy though I but its time to worm everybody again. Planning on taking more when it's not rainy. I'm going to catch him and brush him good and get better pics of everybody.
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. Posted via Mobile Device
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!
OMG Kelly, Your babies are beautiful!!! I love the Buckskin!!!!!
