Palomino.....

Not having any luck with the Gallery- there are Sorrels and Chestnuts and all sorts of Dilutes but no the humble Cream + Red!! I need pictures of Palomino feet without white markings- ie no socks- one unaffected hoof will do!!

I think I have at least one Pally with solid feet somewhere. Where do I sumbit it to the gallery, or should I send it to you?

Dang RF, I just sold Goldie last month (she had 4 solids)...her hooves were a med. slate grey in color (not black, brown or blond). Come to think of it, all the "golden" foals have that same slate colored hooves, but the Isabella foals have a lighter grey (dove grey maybe?)...I will look when haying tomorrow.

Unlike with the stables other horses, I'm not 100% certain that he is a red dun. His owners say that if they wash him in the summer, you can see a dorsal stripe.

I'll betcha that I could find out if he's thrown any dun alleled foals or not, though. Or at least find out the colors of his parents...hmm.

[quote=RiddleMeThis]You shouldnt need to wash him at any point to see a dorsal if hes dun IMO. Dun shows, and it doesn't go away.[/quote]Well, called up the owner and even though he doesn't show much of the primitive marks, his dam was a red dun, and multiple times he has produced red dun foals out of chestnut mares.

He is not a Red Dun he is Dunalino- they are usually lighter than this but they don't have to be.
Thanks everyone this has been very useful.

Sorry all. :<

I'm skeptical. Not saying that he can't be a dunalino just that he is very "bright". Most dunalinos are a more subdued shade and it is common for foals with countershading to be mistaken for dun. If I was breeding my mare to him I would consider him palomino until I saw test results or foal pics.
