Dun Factor (Grullo, Dun, Red Dun)

http://www.dunfactore.com/dungene.html

This site has an excellent description of the dun gene and it's effects on the coat color, as well as photos of the primitive markings.  Two important points to remember (1) the dun gene is dominant, either the sire or the dam must be a dun in order for a foal to be a dun and (2) there must be a prominent dorsal stripe.

Some horses exhibit a fake dorsal stripe called countershading - an article on countershading can be found here:  http://members.aol.com/battyatty/count.htm

There is currently no DNA test for the Dun gene.

Energy Healing & Stress Syndrome Management

My sister, who lives in Steilacoom, offers stress syndrome management, aura balancing techniques, weight loss management, and self discovery through Tarot.  She has written a number of books, which she offers for sale over the internet along with online support.  I think her site is beautiful - and I'm not biased .  Please visit The Captains Lady and let her know what you think.
