I’m not sure what colour my new horse is 😊

[Hedgehog6]

Recently bought a beautiful Gypsy Cob. From photos and in her passport she’s described as Bay. However, her coat is actually a little creamy (don’t know if that’s the best way to describe it?) in colour and she has a black (very defined) dorsal stripe, black legs, mane and tail with cream feathers behind her knees (primitive markings). What are peoples thoughts?

Forte? Vote!!

Well deserved stealth boast op!! Gorgeous horse!

Thanks @Eastereggsboxedupready honestly didn’t mean it as a boast 😆 But nice to see the compliments!

Thanks for all your rapid responses. Her breeder has got back to me and said she’s a red dun. Don’t know why is Bay on the passport

Beautiful!
I know some people break down the Dun colour further, I would have some she was a Bay Dun and not Red Dun as she is her black mane!

I’d have also said a bay or brown dun not a red

Definitely dun. She looks very like a highland x, she's absolutely gorgeous. Highlands have a lot of dun in them. Cracking mare!

Another vote for Dun! Does she have some Irish Draught in her? Will be interesting to see how much lighter she gets when her summer coat comes through! She does look lovely - hope you have lots of fun with her xx

Absolutely a dun. The dorsal stripe is a give away.

Agree with HighlandCowbag, she looks like she has Highland in her. She's stunning.

That is a dun. And a pretty one too. I reckon there's some highland in there too!

Looks exactly like my yellow dun highland - apart from the white stripe on her face. Are you sure she's not got a bit of hipo in her? My boy has the cream weathering down his legs, a pronounced dorsal stripe and obvious "zebra" markings on his legs - behind knees and insides of hocks - when he's in his summer coat. (She's lovely, whatever colour she is).

Similar to my ardenne, she does have a stripe though, she goes darker in the winter. Her passport says she is a bay, but I would say yours is a dun.

According to this, your lovely girl is a dun - www.horsebreedspictures.com/horse-colors/dun-horse

She's so pretty! Where did you get her from if you don't mind me asking?

That shade of dun is very common in Highland Ponies, usually called red dun

I see lots of posters got there before me.
I also think she looks Highlandish

Me neither - I just clicked on the link to see cute new horse pic!

She's very lovely. Makes me want to book horse riding lessons. Used to love it as a kid

Look at her nose! ♥️🤗

@bravelittletiger she was bred on the Lionheart stud in Warwickshire.

Thanks for the lovely posts! I think she’s gorgeous too 😁

Wow she is a beauty!
I would have thought with a dorsal stripe, primitive markings and bay colour (brown with black mane and tail!) she is surely a bay dun?
I learned recently that dun is a gene and not just a colour.
Hope you make each other very happy she really is lovely.

Sun with black points. Lovely.

Dun- bloody auto carrot. But a bright dun...

Dun, I had one who had a bit of a dapple like that. She’s gorgeous.
