This message is from: "jen frame" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Mike, her muzzle has the black skin, with white hairs ontop, giving her the "mealy" muzzle look. If she gets wet then the dark skin shows through, but she has the white muzzle. After reading the post after yours that goes into depth on color genetics, I think you are right: she is a brown dunn, and the dunn gene in her case diluted a lighter bay horse. I looked closely at her colors this morning before I drove her, and her mane is dark brown--almost black but not a true black, with some red hairs mixed in, mostly lower towards her withers. Her strip is definately red, as are the primitive markings. Her points are only on her coronet band up to her ankles, and then again on her knees. The cannon bones are her light body color (i.e. her points are not contiguous up her leg, but mostly on the ankle joint and the knee joint). And the points are reddish brown with some grey hairs in them, not black. Thanks Jen
