Introducing...my new stallion! Westwind BTU Crown Prince Dun Blest

[Minimor]

He is very nice Mona; you're going to get some lovely babies off of him!

Congratulations on your new, beautiful boy!

Mona, I'm thrilled that he has such a wonderful new home. Of course, I'll bet he is really enjoying the pasture, the cool and all the mares.

LOL....Stephanie, NO, he does NOT like the "cool"! I have been having to blanket him. Once during the day(just took the blanket off each time I had him breed a mare, and then put it back on) and then almost every night. He shivers and shakes like a leaf. These 50's are too cool for him, and the night before last, it was down to 41. I blanketed him and kept him in the barn over night(they were calling for rain that night too, but it never came) with a mare in the next stall for company.

Charlotte, NO, not a chance...it is pintos for me all the way, however, since I have some homozygous tobis, and LWO too, I just wanted a solid colored boy that will work with any/all patterns, and eventually, if I find the right LOUD appy mare at the right price, I plan to add of of those to my herd as well.

Thanks everyone for your nice comments.

Mona big Congratulations he is just gorgeous I always like to see the Charlie babies as they are half brothers to my junior stallion who will have his first foal crop next year. Am sure you are going to have some wonderful babies in the Spring.

Can't wait to see your foal crop next year!!

How did I miss this post!! Mona he is stunning.

: I LOVE Karen Wales breeding program, well and Karen too...lol. Red dun is such a hard color to find and it is one of my favorites. I can't wait to see what he produces for you. Keep us posted on pictures of this handsome boy!!

I wish my girl had the darker mane and tail like yours does. But I still love her and hope you and I both have some red duns next year

 

[CyndiD]

Thanks Tami! I never expected a red dun to look this color. I expected them to look sorrel with darker leg points and dorsal stripe. After seeing so many pics of him throughout his life, I was sure he was maybe a shade of grulla because he has the darker face, dark stripe in his mane...not just a darker shade of red, but almost black looking, and almost black points. That is why I thought maybe he carried silver, lightening those to a dark chocolate brown color. I had him color tested(even before I got him home) for red factor(Homozygous Red-ee), agouti(Heterozygous-Aa), cream(Negative-nn) and silver(Negative-nn). So that tells me he is nothing but a red dun! I must admit, I was truely shocked at the results!

 

[Tami]

Thanks for the idea, to get my mare color tested. I thought the same thing about mine, she has so much black in her body and legs but no silver in her sire or dam. Her dam was a grulla and sire a true bay. I have a grulla half sister to her (same dam) that I adore.

I just went and looked at the page you have on him and all I can say is WOW. I just LOVE him. He is not beautiful, he is SPECTACULAR. If you get any red dun foals and sell them you know I will be watching....lol.

I will be going down to Karen's place soon with a friend to pick up a stallion she bought from Karen. I just may have to look around

: ....lol
