Face Markings

Masks, cobwebbing, and eye markings


Masks

Duns sometimes, but certainly not always, have LOWER dark face masks.

Sometimes a grulla (dun on pure black) will have a completely dark head :

If you see darkness (masking) on the UPPER face only, such as on the forehead, this is often "shading", and not a dun characteristic.

Treating the eye as part of the face

Here is another variation of dun eye markings. There are several types!  This AQHA filly is Rick to a Tee, owned by Mary Haas of Haas QH's, on one of her first days wearing a saddle.

Mary should really keep her fillies out of her makeup!  This buckskin seems to have overdone her "eyebrows"... this is Cowboys Shining 209, also of Haas QH's.  Note: THIS IS NOT A DUN.  Not all eye markings indicate that the horse is dun.
