Its a bit early to say, she has to be one year old until her final colors show up. But by now I can tell shes a bay dun, maybe a mealy bay dun if the bright areas doesnt disappear until shes one year old.

100% bay based, not chestnut. Not sure about mealy, as Satinka said.

*nod* That super red mane is throwing me off, along with how pale her black feet are. As she ages she's dropping the pangare, though I confess I don't see the dun. No leg striping or primitive striping, and I don't see the shadowing you often see on the face and/or shoulders. Dun *is* possible, as her sire is dun, but dam is straight up flaxen chestnut.

She has a very noticeable dorsal stripe (the stripe along her back), though :)

I'm not a color pro by any means, but kind of looks like buckskin or some sort of dun. :)

I can't always see the dun marks either. Luckily you can see dun on the sire side. Not always lucky in some pedigrees if there are no pictures. The overall bay color is lightened though so I vote Bay Dun now that the horse is nearly mature.

Genetic testing takes the fun out of it :twisted:
