With all the topics on the dun genes...
Dose a horse have to carry the dun gene if they have a dorsal stripe?
Im not 100% sure as I have heard yes and no.
I have 4 minis in the back yard with dorsal stripes. My sr stallion, My sr mare, and their 2 daughters who are full sisters by the stallion and mare.
My stallion has the barring but really hav'nt seen it on the mare. BUT for sure the daughters dont have barring. BUT do have faint dorsals.
Stallion is a smutty buckskin roan
Mare is a bay roan
and daughters are
buckskin roan & bay roan.
OR can the roan gene have the dorsal strip too?
AND one more ?,
Can a horse have the dun, roan, and smutty gene?
Thanks so much!
