SUN UN DUN: 92% Foundation Quarter Horse

(21, 7/8%) Poco Bueno

(15, 5/8%) Doc Bar

The product of years of breeding at the Perkins Ranch in East Texas.

SUN UN DUN represents the best of the old breed with the relevance of winners today. “Sunny” is athletic, intelligent, and agile. With size and plenty of speed. When crossed with our select group of young mares Sun un Dun produces outstanding cutting, reining, cowhorse, roping, ranch and barrel racing prospects. With progeny excelling multiple events.

The dun gene affects both red and black coat color pigments. The gene is associated with "primitive marking" and has the ability to affect the appearance of all black, bay, or chestnut ("red") horses to some degree by lightening the base body coat.

The dark stripe down the middle of the back is the most recognizable marking associated with dun horses. Other markings include a darker tail and mane, as well as a darker face and legs. The classic dun is a gray, gold or tan color, characterized by a sandy yellow to a reddish-brown body color. Depending on other underlying genetic coat color factors, a dun horse may appear as a light yellowish shade or a steel gray. Manes, tails, primitive markings and other dark areas are usually the shade of the non-diluted base coat color. Many dun horses are mistaken as buckskin horses.

The Dun allele is dominant, meaning that a horse that carries either a single copy (heterozygous – D/d) or two copies of the gene (homozygous – D/D) will develop the dun colorations.

Dun Markings:

Dorsal stripe (a stripe down the center of the back, along the spine). These are seen almost universally on all duns.

Horizontal striping on the back of forelegs. These common on most duns, though at times rather faint.

Shoulder blade stripes. The least commonly seen of the primitive markings.
