This website is owned and created
by Nancy Kerson, a private
citizen - I am not the BLM or anyother branch of  government!

Information about BLM adoptions
is offered as a service, to help
mustangs find homes and to
promote public appreciation of
wild horses and burros.

For information about the BLM
Wild Horse & Burro Program,
please call (866) 4MUSTANGS
or Click HERE

Please direct adoption questions
to the BLM, not to me.

And I sure as heck am not a
Mustang car dealership!

I have NO horses or burros for
sale and am not interested in
buying or listing or otherwise
promoting your sale animals!

Brindle is an extremely rare color pattern in horses, and is not yet understood genetically.

It consists of irregular "drippy" stripes extending vertically over the horse's body, as well as horizontally around the legs. Brindle horses also have a dorsal stripe.

According to Dr. Philip Sponenberg, BRINDLE is a unique gene that acts by REORGANIZING the COUNTER-SHADING caused by the SOOTY GENE into brindle strips.

Because the striping patterns are similar to dun, it is sometimes confused with dun, especially in minimally brindle animals. For a long time, brindle was considered to be a form of dun.

For a more thorough exploration of brindle, see Sharon Batteatte's Brindle Horse Website

So far, Brindle has evaded breeders' attempts to breed for it.
