Lets see your duns!

I'm fascinated by duns anyway, but especially now with growing dun filly.

I'd love to see photos of duns, especially changes from foal to adult, and winter/summer coat differences.

I'll post some of my filly soon, and the dun gelding I used to own. Gotta track down some photos!

Here's my filly. I'm curious what shade she's going to be once she's mature. I'm thinking that she is bay dun, does that seem correct? Her dam was buckskin and her sire was grullo.

Newborn pictures, the best I have...






When I saw her at 3 or 4 months old





And then this winter, around 7 or 8 months



You can see her dorsal stripe in this one



I don't have any ones from super recently, she's in the process of shedding out (very awkwardly!), and at first I thought her summer coat was looking very similar in shade to her winter coat. It seems to be on her face (still quite red-ish) but now on her legs/chest area where it's coming through it's looking quite a bit more beige. I'm curious to see once she's finished shedding! And how much is she likely to keep changing? Will this summer coat be pretty indicative of her adult colouring?

What a cutie! Both the dun filly and your little girl. Bet you your little girl already loves horses?

I don't have a dun, I have a chestnut. Sorry for bombing your thread! lol.

Ohh, that's not my little girl (she's probably the cutest kid in the world though!)...those photos were taken by the guy I bought Gitana from. They were literally the only photos of her as a newborn, there weren't any without people in the photos with her!

But if I ever have a little girl, she had better love horses!!!

I have a 3 month old dunskin filly! She's pretty darn cute but hasn't shed her foal coat yet so no idea what kinda changes she will have. Your baby is sooooo adorable! (Both horse and human). Here are some picture of my filly from newborn, to water logged to current.

It will be interesting to see what your filly sheds out to, Brynne, but right now, I'm going to go with buckskin dun (dunskin), like Triple E's filly.

The frosting in her mane in those last pics are very buckskin, as is her coloring.

Interesting! For some reason I thought dunskins tended to have a lighter body colouration, but I'm new to this!

Tripe E, your filly is ADORABLE!! So cute :D

This is my old gelding, I knew he was a dun but I have NO idea anything further than that. He is such an interestingly coloured horse, on top of the dun he also has a slight blanket (he's half appy) and a few darker spots on his rump, both are nearly impossible to see though except in person.

I gave him to my stepmom, so I still get to see him quite frequently.







Winter woolies




And he had just been swimming and then rolled in sand in this one, but you can see his leg bars better than in the other photos I think...

LOL, always that awkward moment on internet forums :wink:

Well, the little girl is still cute anyway! Love your filly, and if her momma is anything to go by she is going to be absolutely gorgeous.
