Kiger Mustangs: mostly dun, named for the Steens &/or Kiger mountains, valleys, etc. in Oregon

The webmaster wishes to thank Bettye Roberts, Kim Bauer, and the many others who helped me learn many things about Kiger Mustangs back around "the turn of the century"  :-)

In September of 2001, Barbara Kostelnik, the webmaster and founder of dungenes, visited Portland, Oregon

1. to hear Dr. Gus Cothran explain the results of his research on the genetics of Kiger Mustangs. 
2. She also visited Carol Pshigoda's Cream Acres in Bend (Alfalfa) to verify that American Cream Draft Horses are champagne (and they are usually gold champagne),
3. stayed one night at Timberline Lodge and fell in love with it and Mt. Hood, and during this trip also
4. met Dianne Chaffee, who owns Canyon Creek Kigers in Washington State, and who also attended Dr. Cothran's presentation, 
5. visited the Steens Kiger ranch in 2000 and "met" Steens Kiger as well as many beautiful Kiger foals and their sires & dams; see also "Mestana Family" for some relatives of some of his horses;
6. on a subsequent trip she met Erin Gray's Sorraia stallion, Sovina, her friend and other horses that were there at that time (see Sorraia under breeds).

To see a great family of gray Kigers, click the "Mestana Family" button at right.

Not Kigers, but sort of Mustangs:

A site we don't want to forget about is  http://www.cayuseranch.com .  Though we don't have permission to POST their pictures on our site, I hope to LINK to them to illustrate various unusual colors... they are fabulous and plentiful!
