Traits

Name: Dun

Base Genotype: D_

Skin Color:  No effect. 

Eyes: No effect.

Description: Dun lightens all pigments in the coat, but only on the neck and body of the horse. Dun also causes a dorsal stripe down the horse's back and striping on the legs, which may cause bi-colored manes and tails. Dun is a dominant gene, so only one copy is required for it to be visible. Dun has several names for it's variations, which can all be searched on for real-life references: 

• "Strawberry Dun" or "Red Dun" : a chestnut horse with dun
• "Bay Dun" or "Classic Dun" : a bay horse with dun
• "Grulla/Grullo" or "Blue Dun" : when a black horse has dun

Design Guidance: At minimum, the coat can be slightly lightened with a dorsal stripe present. At maximum, the coat is strongly lightened, with leg and dorsal striping. Striping can be black, if the horse has black pigment. Otherwise, the striping may be the base coat color that has been darkened. Lightening of the coat should not extend onto the horse's head, down past the knees, or down past the hocks on the hind legs. Horses may have different variations of the examples below:
