Champagne plus Dun

Classic dun/grulla: black + champagne + dun.

These first horses have no cream gene (all 3 tested E_, aa, No Cr). All owned and/or bred by Tara Novotny, Rising Moon Ranch.

 

Gold Dun: chestnut (red) + champagne + dun

Skips Golden Rush ("Skip")  
(sadly, deceased)

The late Skip's Golden Rush was an AQHA registered gold champagne dun stallion,an own son of the famed My Skip Vanzi.  This color is created by the dun plus champagne genes on a red (chestnut/sorrel) base.  He very strangely seemed to pass on both genes to every single foal during the 2 years he was bred.

Little Nikita ("Nikki")

 grade QH mare

This webmaster feels very privileged to have "discovered" this little treasure, and to have had the opportunity to examine her in person, since she lives in a suburb of Cincinnati, OH.

We assume she is a classic and a grulla because she looks so much like the others that have been DNA confirmed.   However, she has not been DNA tested.

Her leg striping was very visible to the naked eye in her stall.  Low light caused show shutter speed, blurring.

When I  see her cleaned up I'll look to see if these were just sweat marks!

Please be sure you include all requested info in your email.About emailing the ICHR:  Horse color questions cannot be answered without the horse's breed and registered name, if any.  Due to the extensive research conducted by the ICHR, we are usually able to determine if a horse has champagne in its pedigree by recognizing the names of ancestors we have determined were actually champagne.  These champagne sources are listed in the right column of each entry in our stud book!
