Zebra Dun? What color is this?

[PaintedMeadows]

I was just playing with the color calculator and put my silver bay tobiano stud against my possibly dark grulla mare and it came up with silver zebra dun tobiano first. What color is zebra dun and does anyone have photo examples? I have never seen or heard of one I don't think.

I am sorry I do not have pictures but do have a zebra dun and no she is not bay, she is brown and has strippes over her ENTIRE body in the spring like a zebra. They are not well defined, can be seen but do not show up in photos. In her winter coat she has just the more typical dorsal, shoulder bars and leg barring.

I have a photo of a mustang!

i think thats what your looking for isnt it??!

 

[rabbitsfizz]

"Zebra" Duns can be any base Dun colour and they just have very prominent leg barring- sometimes leg barring is so faint as to not be visible, sometimes it is very visible.

Stormy, I suspect you have a "Brindle" that is NOT a description of a "Zebra Dun"

 

[stormy]

She is a dun, no doubt about that, but must admitt I have never seen one with stripes like hers. Also it is not a brindle pattern, have seen those....it is stripes like a zebra!

Here is my Silver Bay Dun Pinto Stallion, not sure if he is a Zebra Dun because of the Silver. He has alot of baring, but only in the middle of the summer, also picture of his Dorsal stripe.

Horse Chick- Beautiful mustang! :bgrin But I think he is a grulla, It is a dun, Called Grulla, Lobo dun or Blue Dun. One of my favorite colors!

Stormy- It does sound like your horse is a brindle, Is there a pic of the horse ANYWHERE??? I'd love to find out

[rabbitsfizz]

As I said, Zebra Duns can be ANY base colour.

Grullo is just Black Dun so the Mustang can be a Grullo base (ie Black Dun base) Zevra Dun, no problem.

Jean B's animals are very good examples.

Zebra Duns are not marked like Zebras- that is a brindle, see here

Thanks for the color website, Rabbitsfizz. I have a Strawberry Roan (or Chestnut Roan) Mustang-cross and it answered a question I had about color changes as he ages. I'm glad to learn that he will stay a roan and not go completely grey. I also have a Silver Dun miniature horse but I have yet to find a photo that looks like him. He gets fairly dark in the summer and lightens up in the winter. He has the classic dorsal stripe and Zebra stripes on his legs' he has a light mane and tail. (Some of the photos on the equine color site didn't load so maybe they have photos but I couldn't see them.)

 

[stormy]

Well once again I will say it, wish I had photos but just have never gotten one were the stripes show and this is not the time of year for them as she is getting her winter coat. I have seen brindle horses alive and in photos. She is not brindle. She has a stripe pattern just like a zebra just a little darker than her base coat. I have seen 1 dun before with short stripes over his shoulders and on his back but never one with a full pattern like she has. I will do my best next year to get you all photos, maybe body clipping would bring them out more, will see. Didn't realize it was that unusual!

 

[PaintedMeadows]

Thank you everyone for your replies. I thought it was going to be something wild! lol. Those are all beautiful horses! Thanks for sharing them.

stormy would love to see pics if/when you can get some. Would they show up better wet? Sounds pretty unusual.

The bars over the withers on a grullo(a) are common and part of the color package there..... wow, a couple of pics above really have INTENSE leg striping!!!
