What color horse would you get if you bred a dun colored horse to a golden palomino?

Dun can be red dun, blue dun or dun. If we assume that the dun is A-Dndn or A-DnDn We know the palomino is --eeCrcr 50% of the foals have the Crème allele and therefore be dilute. 50% of the foals (if the Dun parent is heterozygous Dndn) will have the Dun allele. If the dun parent is homozygous dun DnDn all foals produced will be dun. If the Dun horse is A-Dndn and Ee at the extension site. 50% of the foals will be red based. This could be chestnut, red dun, dunalino (palomino and dun), 50% will be non-red. This could be bay, dun, dunskin (dun and buckskin) If the Dun horse is A-DnDn and Ee at the extension site. 50% of the foals will be red dun or dunalino 50% of the foals will be dun or dunskin. If both the stallion and the mare carry the true black allele a there is the possibility that a resulting foal could be a grulla or a crème dilute grulla. If either or both of the parents are color tested, the percentages would be simple to calculate. Examination of the parents, grandparents and any offspring produced would shed light on what the true possibilities are for this mating.

A dun dilute is a horse color that results from the combination of both the dun gene and a dilution gene, such as cream or pearl. This combination creates a lighter version of the dun color, with a diluted overall appearance and often a lighter mane and tail. Dunnish colors can range from cream to tan to brown with primitive markings like dorsal stripes or leg barring.

OK, well old indicates that he is about 20 or more. Quarter horse is a breed that is used for mostly western events, because that is what he was bred for- roping cattle and other things the cowboys did.

Dun is an intense color with a hide that has an abundance of pigment in the hairs. The dun color is a duller shade than buckskin and may have a smutty appearance. Most dun horses have dark points of brown or black. Dun horses sport the "dun factor" points which include dorsal and shoulder stripes, leg barring, etc.
