Pertaining to color registration rules, there should be a distinction between the red dun coloring and the dunalino coloring. Red dun is red (hence I own some), and a dunalino is palomino coloring ( I own one that is no where near red coloring at all). The red dun has dark red points, and the dunalino has brown to grey points points. Even though both colors come from the red base gene and the bodies are lightened up by the dun gene, there is a clear distinction of the two colors. For example: a chestnut/sorrel is red based, and a single dilute gene of red base gives a golden coat with white mane/tail making the horse a palomino. Then you add the dun gene to the mix and you get a dunalino. Another example: a chestnut/sorrel is red based, and add the dun gene to it and you get a lighter red bodied horse with dark points and dun factor making it a red dun. Thank you for listening. I hope someone can put this suggestion in for me. Currently my stallion is registered as a palomino when he is clearly a dunalino ( he has a true red dun sire and a palomino dam). His future of siring properly registered foals is going to be in jeopardy for being registered with their correct coloring when he has foals from non-dun gene mares. His first colt born is out of a brown AQHA mare, and the colt is a buttermilk dun. We have not sent in the foal registration application yet due to being rejected for his coloring not corresponding with AQHA rules of genetically having a dun gene parent to qualify as a dun on his papers.
