These pictures have been through the mill a bit, emailed to my work so I could cut them out of the pdf. Send to home so I could load them here. They are not manipulated. The first is the background used in the 2003 catalog.  The second is the "palomino" stallion in the catalog. Not a great shot but notice his mane color, blonde. I think its the same horse, not sure for sure.  Third is for comparison, a lighter red dun from the same catalog. Notice the mane, definitely red.  |

Dianne,
The first 2 are the same horse. In person hismane only looked completely blonde from certain angles. It had quite a bit of red in it, as did his tail. I am certain he was a very light red dun, like Dani. She looked palomino when viewed from certain angles as well.
The 3rd pic, 4800, is Fuego!

I agree with Kim. The "palomino" stallion is a very light red dun. Does anyone know anything about or have pictures of the horse in the pens in October that was labeled as a palomino gelding if I remember correctly. He was not offered for adoption at that time. At the time I wondered why he was there, all by himself. He was labeled palomino. I agreed, thinking he was a palomino but not a Kiger. On top of that he was gelded;something that is normally not done with the Kigers. Hmmmmm makes me wonder now???

That palomino was Rugar, a TIP horse Jamie Thomas gentled and adopted out. The owner was unable to keep him, and returned him to the BLM. Jamie went a got him a couple weeks later and has him at her place in Auburn, WA, I think to give him a brush-up and make available again for adoption.

Here is another pic of Fuego, 6 years after his 2003 adoption catalog pic.  |

Thanks, Lil. So Rugar isn't a Kiger, right? Great picture of Fuego. One of the brightest red duns I've ever seen. Just look at that forelock!

Didn't the people who adopted that pally looking one test him for cream and it came back negative?

I posted these pictures on the wrong thread, I meant to post on Dunalino stallion. Perhaps we can move this discussion over there?

Correct, Rugar is not a Kiger, but I don't remember what herd.

Fuego is a great looking stallion! The point I was trying to make is that a red dun's mane, even with frosting, is darker than its body color. I remember Dani, a beautiful apricot dun, very light. Her mane would make any foil job done in a beauty parlor look dull in comparison. Its base color was darker than her body color. Without testing we don't know for sure what this stallion was. But gorgeous as he was he was culled from the herd and adopted. That says something to me. And his mane is lighter than his body color. His tail shows more color just as the dunalinos do. With the dun stripe going through the mane and the tail they should not be white like a palomino. Here is Page Bull Parker who was owned by Sharon Haas. She's a member of the Dun Genes Group and in spite of the fact that he died before the dun test was available he threw duns and palominos out of non-dilute mares. The picture doesn't show his mane, just a light forelock but does show his tail with color in it and the red dun stripes on his legs. So Kim, we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. Maybe some day I'll have a dunalino foal out of a Lusitano and we can compare notes again.  |
