Topics: Color : Buckskins and Duns

The buckskin, (or dun), is a colour that occurs in many breeds.In the American West, horses of the Buckskin, Dun, Red Dun and Grulla hues trace to the Mustang -- Spanish Barb descendants which originated in Spain as the Sorraia. Other Buckskins brought to this country can be traced to the Norwegian Dun, descendants of the nearly extinct Tarpan horses. The flourishing number of Buckskin horses found today are the strongest living descendants of the ancestral breeds. Along with a mixture of other bloods, Buckskins can be found in all breed types.
