This message is from: "B. Hendricks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Jean:
I'll write to Phil and get a copy of his article. The last seven years have been real hectic for me and I've missed out on a lot. I have both of his books, and while I've "nosed" through them, haven't had a chance to sit down and just read. I'm interested also in asking Phil some other questions that come to mind regarding the duns in the Fjord breed, and what is found in others, as the white or lighter hair fringe on the mane and tail is absent in many other cases, i.e., Quarter Horse, Konik (which is almost always grullo) and etc. I see some differences in the dun horses in the Akhal-Teke breed too, as they have the dorsal stripe but don't seem to have the barring on the legs. Interesting things to ponder! Bonnie P.S. I don't know that I would term any dun a "true dun" and another not a "true dun." To me, a dun is a dun, and they come in lots of shades and variations. A buckskin, however, without the stripes, is not a dun in the sense that the label is used, though it is certainly dun in color. Ha - how's that for making sense?
