This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Anneli,
I have a "white dun?" fjord mare who has no stripe in her mane and a light brown eel stripe on her back. She has several full brothers who are also the same color. Her dam is white (Uls) dun with the black stripe and her grand dam and great grand dam also are white(uls)dun with the black stripe. I also own the grand dam, Stella N-14138 C-120 (NFHR # N-Q-515-M) Stella's Dam is Line N-13475 (NFHR # N-K-160-M0 owned by Mary Thurman. Line has a daughter in Norway, Faksi, who is the only known YELLOW DUN. Stella has one son , Anvil's Solvaktig, who also is "white dun" with no stripe. My Mare, Anvil's Adel, "white dun" with no stripe has scattered BLACK hairs in her mane and tail. Apparently Anvil's Solvaktig also has the scazttered black hairs in his mane. Anneli, I will send you picture of these "white duns" with no stripe privately. Hope this helps! Jean in Fairbanks, Alaska, sunny with over 18 hours daylight!
