Interesting. Bay duns seem pretty common in Icelandics, but I haven't seen one as light as that mom, not that I remember. I guess the ones I've seen may have been heterogyguous. Loftur is bay dun, and so is Anneliese's old stallion, Landi. Trausti too. I wonder why duns (all colors) are so common in Icelandic's but so rare (non-existent) in so many breeds...?
