Chestnut Dun
The chestnut dun OR red dun is a chestnut horse
with the dun gene.
Chestnut duns do not have black points.
A Chestnut Dun's body coat will be very similar to that of a Chestnut but it may be a shade or two lighter and will be accompanied by the primitive marks in a darker red shade. Likewise the head will also be a darker shade of red.
The genes of all red based Dun horses are the same, just as the genes for all red based horses without the Dun gene are the same. It's just the shade of the base colour and the amount of dilution the Dunning gene does to that base, that differs.
