<< I have NOT seen many grey duns with two brown dun parents. The 'grey gene' are probably not as widely spread within the breed as the red gene. To get a grey dun, both parents have to carry the gene. It's therefore important to find out which horses that carry the gene for grey. >> Anneli, I just wanted to respond briefly about the grey gene. I have seen several grey foals coming from brown parents. Those brown parents must both be carrying the grey gene? My brown dun junior stallion, Majson, by Rusten and out of Majbrit, has 7 foals on the ground. Two of them are grey. His last filly, born a week ago, I have not seen yet and the owners are wondering about her color. Am expecting a video soon so that we can try to determine what color she will be. Anyway, the mares have all been brown duns also. I don't pretend to know much about the genetics of color, just know I am waiting my turn. They greys always seem to belong to someone else! Darn!
