This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Cheryl,
Your white duns come from the Modellen line. Interesting! Do you happen to know who that Brown dun mare was that you saw last week? (name, sire and dam?) D. Philip Sponenberg, who has studied Equine color genetics ( and wrote an article on FJord colors available on the NFHR website) said in his book, "EQUINE COLOR GENETICS" Second Edition , that Amber eyes are especially common on horses with one dose of the Cremello gene. I hope everybody with a white dun Fjord will look at their eyes and report what color! I twill be interesting to see the results of the survey! Jean in "balmy" Fairbanks, Alaska, where the temperature has risen to -25. Hey, it is all relative! >Jean, >We have a white mare (Gingard/FG Lakita)& a white stallion (Engar/FC >Gwendellin) both with eyes as dark as the brown duns.They both have the dark >eyeliner look to them also. > >I did see a brown dun mare last week that had those amber eyes. I just love >them!
