This stays and only the bay color turns to a yellow gold color. Duns are created with the dun gene, which can be on any base color. The cream turns reddish colors to a yellow or gold-like color.
The cream gene only affects red base color and not black when one is present. When two cream genes are present red and black base colors are effected. The cream gene can lighten the skin, coat, and eyes. The dun gene affects both red and black-based colors. The dun gene commonly leaves the mane, tail, and some other areas of the body the original undiluted base coat color.
Although it is also common for the mane and tail to have frosting which are light-colored hairs on either side of the mane and tail.
Buckskin horses can also have the dun gene, they are called a dunskin. This means the horse has a base coat bay with one cream gene and one dun gene. Buckskin horses can have a dorsal stripe and not be dun. Dorsal striping alone does not mean the horse is dun. There are two types of non-dun horses known as non-dun 1 and non-dun 2. Non-dun 1 has no color dilution but can have primitive markings. Non-dun 2 has no color dilution and no primitive markings. Dun gene is a dominant gene. If one of the parents is dun then the foal will inherit the dun gene.
Today to confirm if a horse is dun DNA testing can be done, examining the horses pedigree, and checking for the visual signs the horse is dun, such as primitive markings, dorsal stripe, and color dilution.

Hiya, yep the genetics are very different. Most of the "dun" looking warmblood types you see are actually buckskin.
Dun is more commonly seen in native types. Buckskins carry one cream dilute gene the same as palominos and smokey blacks. They don't have a dorsal eel stripe or zebra type markings on their legs like true duns do.
Won't go heavily in to the colour genetics behind it all - it's a different world!! Nailed Well-Known Member 17 June Lou x.
Most people in the UK refer to all golden coloured horses with black manes and tails as Duns, when in fact the majority of horses that are golden are Buckskin.
They think that the word Buckskin is an American term, so don't use it, when in fact it is used to correctly describe a horse exhibiting a different gene to the 'Dun' gene. He is a Buckskin. Joined 28 July Messages 5, Location Lancs. Do you need a buckskin mare to produce a buckskin foal?? You are not guaranteed that a buckskin mare to a buckskin stallion will produce a buckskin foal.
My stallion carries the red gene so he can produce all of the following To chestnut and bay mares:- Chestnut Bay Palomino Buckskin also depending on other factors Smokey Black To another buckskin he could produce:- Chestnut if mare was carrying the red gene Bay Buckskin Palomino Cremello if mare was carrying the red gene Perlino also depending on other factors Smokey Black.
There is a good way to tell if the dun gene is showing its presence. A true dorsal stripe of a dun is distinct, unbroken, and runs from pole to dock. A dunskin horse has both the dun gene and the buckskin gene. This combination creates a stunning coat color on a bay horse and allows for gray color to appear. Dunskins typically are a little lighter and have more frosting in their mane and tail than a standard dun horse.
A dunalino is a palomino with a dun gene. A standard palomino is created by a dilution gene acting on a chestnut base color. To make a dunalino, a dun dilution allele is added to the mix.
And since dun genes are dominant, their traits show over the palomino coat. These gorgeous horses display a golden palomino color with a distinct brown dorsal stripe and stripes on their lower legs. Some of the most beautiful horses are called cremellos, and they have two cream dilutions in their genetic code.
Having multiple dilution genes can lighten the coat to nearly white. In a horse with a black coat, they are called smoky creams. There can be problems when there are double cream alleles. They are often referred to as pseudo-albinos due to the light color of the skin and eyes.
Buckskins and bays have dark skin and darker eyes. Buckskin and dun are colors found in many breeds of horses. Both colors look similar depending on the shade, but are caused by different genes. A horse may appear to be a dun or buckskin but genetically is not and cannot pass the desired color along to foals. Buckskins generally have yellow bodies, and black manes, tails, stockings and dorsal stripes.
