Dun or not?

Sounds like a plan!
What is this... plan ZH3???

If that's a reference to something, it's over my head.

I meant... plan a... breed it out, plan b... hunt down the culprit... plan c... breed it out again and so on

Oh! Haha yes, that would be about right then. (and here I was trying to google "ZH3" like it was something specific )

I'm out of turns for the night, so here's what I've got until I can play again tomorrow or monday night.

New yearlings who aren't obviously dun to me:

Regal Bullet: http://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/1902340
Doubt Bullet: http://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/1902355

The black colt:

Doubull: Perhaps there is a shadow of stripes on the front leg. And also, maybe that masking on the body. But I see no indication of dorsal. Possible dun.

Regal Bullet: Sooty makes it difficult, but I see no signs of dorsal, masking or any other unusual telltale signs of dun at all. Probable no dun.

Doubt Bullet: Like Regal Bullet, but without any sooty. Probable no dun.

Black Bull: Grullo boy. He's not BLACK-black and I even see the color shift on his neck. He's most definitely a dun carrier.

As an example to a BLACK-black (this one has metallic):


Perhaps you can see the differences in the face, down the neck and especially there on the flank, where on your boy, it's defined and evident, but on the turkmene, you can't even see that flank flap.

Shoot, you're totally right. Now that I'm looking at things again today, that grullo is indeed obvious. Especially compare to the true black example. What a bummer.

I think I might pick up a couple black AC horses from a breed that has no dun and use them for testing, and then just plan on not keeping the offspring. We'll see how things pan out after that!

Belgian & Arabian, from the AC both guaranteed no dun (the only two).
The nice thing is that although difficult to find, they will pop up occasionally (unlike the double pearl NAB ).

Ah! Good to know. I'll go with Arabian then because I'm pretty sure the Belgians are where this cryptic expression is coming from (since it sure isn't coming from the prze and tarpans, haha). Don't need to make things harder on myself than they already are.

hah!
Harder...
If there wasn't bad luck, there'd be no luck at all!
Sometimes no luck's the way to go.
Did I just say that?!
