Of course I couldn't forgot to add Dunit's half brother Ringo, who didn't go grey just going more appy..

Jill, is Dunit an appy too? He looks to have mottled skin and possibly scelera in his eye...was hard to tell about the scelera but the mottling looked strong. His dam is an appy right? I remember another of Erica's foals that I had considered one time but the dam was a grey appy. Maybe the same mare?

DunIT is out of a Yellow Diamond Little Feather daughter, who is also a granddaughter of Egyptian King
Sired, of course, by "Bandito", BTU son. Not sure of how many appy characteristics DunIT carries. Mottled skin can be from grey or appy... the scalara look in the motion shot is just because he was looking back at us. Normally his eyes are just big "black" pools... DunIT, potentially, has "a lot" going on with his appy mom, his dun factor (sire or dam? both throw), grey, cream... I swear, maybe it all competes in his head because he is at least 17hh of personality!

Check out this colt from 2011. His sire is a dun, but with all the pinto pattern on his back there is no dorsal stripe. He tested negative for cream, and is a bay dun, and is homozygous for black!.

Thanks. We thought he was a buckskin and were so surprized when his Animal Genetics tests came back!
Here is another photo of him, and one with his dam soon after he was born !
He is a super friendly colt that LOVES people. He should throw a lot of color too. Being Homozygous for Black helps as well.
