Appaloosa Duns
I've tried to note which horses have proven they are actually duns by producing dun
from non-dun horses, since many Appaloosas develop a dark dorsal line as they
color up.

"This is my grulla appy's stripe that continues into her tail. I think
it is funny how the dark dun stripe turns white! The only place you can actually see the dark dun stripe is in the one
or two body colored spots she has along her spine." (Click to enlarge

Wakita's Whirlwind, 1997 ApHC # 565775.
Sherry continues: "Verified Smoky Grulla by UC Davis. Tested
EE,aa,Crcr. Of course there isn't a dun test, but she is
dun; with dun factor, dilute body color, and she has had 2 dun foals from
non dun sires to prove it! Also, she is 87% Foundation bred, with some of
the greatest Appaloosa sires such as Mighty Bright, Navajo Britches and Peavy Bimbo in her pedigree. She also traces back to Triple Crown winner,
Whirlaway, on her dam's side."
 This
mare's current owner is Betty Finch. She sent these two photos of her
dorsal area. Click them to see the very large full size.

Sunnita's Duchess. Her owner writes: "She has
wonderful cob webbing on her face. Leg barring still shows, even
with her heavy roaning. She is a five year old. She was a Buckskin colored
Dun like her sire when she was foaled. She had a jet black dorsal and
tranverse stripe like her 1/2 sister Sunnita's Rose~ AQHA." Mary
"Annita" Blake of Wolf
Run Ranch in Cameron, WV. "You can see the remnants
of her dorsal stripe."
