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.
Then she is very likely a brown dun. The grey foals usually have a
blacker muzzle when young.
Mike
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
