ASHA#005-F * SSHR#-SS1091S * HOA#-1362

Hidden in the juniper valleys of Utah's remote Mountain Home Range, lives a herd of wild Spanish horses, discovered in the 1980's. The wild Spanish Sulphur Horse is small, 13-14 hh. These horses have strength and stamina. SULPHUR PRINCE is a  Slate Gray Grullo, with primitive dun marks, mixed mane/tail, dorsal stripe, barred legs, shoulder bars , plus a white coronet w/black dots on his left rear foot and a dark belly stripe too...   What a Handsome fellow!  WOW! Leg stripes!

Primitive Striped Zebra Dun Horses, have markings that are known as DUN FACTOR. These markings are darker than the body color and most often the same color as the mane and tail. The most common dun factor marking is the dorsal stripe. The dorsal stripe usually runs from the base of the mane to the base of the tail along the spine. Dark leg stripes up to the chest, ears are pointed with a dark rim, neck and shoulder stripes (barring), facial cob webbing, chest bars, fishbone marks along the dorsal, dark "eye liner" encircles the eyes, hooves are thick-walled, and extremely tough. The base color of the mane of the horse must be darker for the horse to be considered a true dun. Colors are duns of all shades, grullo, reds, browns and buttermilks.  These strong primitive Dun Factor markings have earned the nickname of "Zebra Duns".
