Help with identifying this horse's color?
Hello, I am unable to identify this horse's color here: http://www.horseworldonline.net/farm/pasture/639 (she is named Queen). I typed that it was Champagne Dun, but I am 100% sure that is wrong. If anyone could help that would be great!

Re: Help with identifying this horse's color?
Actually you're 90% right. She has dun characteristics (noticing the lightening on the barrel and not so much near her muzzle) though she looks like a bay base to me, so Amber Champagne Dun or Amber Dun would be correct providing I am not missing anything.
EDIT: Champagne Dun is technically correct though not specific regarding the base coat.

No, she's a Amber (bay) Champagne Dun. She's got the dun marks on her shoulder and the nose freckles.
Queen's Dam (Lady) is a Red dun, because bother her sire and dam (Asher and Eve) are duns. Eve is a Bay dun, Asher is a red dun. It's actually possible that Lady is homozygous dun, as both her foals have the dun gene. Only time will tell if she is, but she's 2/2 so far.
Queen's sire (Rogue) is champagne.

http://s70.photobucket.com/user/Totina_ ... 1.png.html This is a Red Roan, see how you can see the white hairs in the roaning?
