This one is a mealy red dun ^^

So all in all it is the dun gene (it causes the stripes along his back, neck and legs as well as the redder colouring on the face and legs ) and the mealy gene (the reason as to why the horse's main body is lighter than usual) on Chestnut.

The horse also might be carrying the sooty gene from his dam (his dam's dam definitely has the sooty gene). Well he actually is carrying the sooty gene: look at how darker the front half of his body is.

So he is a mealy red dun with the sooty gene
