I am new to horse genetics and was wondering if the genetics I have for my two look right...

Dustan

Dustan is "D?" because we don't know if he has another dun gene or not. Dun is dominant so it just needs one gene to show. If he has a non dun baby then he is "Dd" and most people have a general rule that after 10 babies that don't show the recessive gene (when bred to a non dominant parent, so when bred to a non-dun) that you can assume they are completely dominant. So if you bred him ten times and all 10 babies showed dun, then it is pretty safe to assume he is "DD".

Tanya looks good. :)
