Dun Splash EXP 9989708

I just made this red dun splash mare. Just wondering if there could be a reason why her coat is so pale? I didn't think dun made such a dramatic change, its almost creamy.

Maybe the homozygous flaxen? It does lighten the mane and tail, but not sure about the body.

Dun is a dilute, so it will make her lighter. She also doesn't have an sooty genes. That also makes a dun really light.

The flaxen and lack of sooty, dun does do a bit of body lightening as well

I think she just don’t habe anything that darkens her. Some real life red dubs can be incredible light, like f.ex these two fjords:
