Palomino or chestnut & flaxen, he is not.

He's nice!
Certainly similar colouring so could well be right - but do they need to have the zebra striped legs to be a yellow dun?

To me, I always thought a yellow dun was dun on a bay base.

I asked this in the thread on TO too, I'm genuinely curious.

Many shettie breeders seem to refer to the 'biscuit' colour of Lis' horse as 'cream dun'. What actually makes a cream dun then? As I said over there, I'm guessing it's 'cream dun' in the coloquial sense as it doesn't seem to literally mean cream (as in the dilute gene) + dun. Surely that would be dunalino, dunskin (or whatever you call black+ dun + cream- grulla + cream?).

So... Is 'cream dun' as in the biscuit-y colour, chestnut with flaxen + dun?

I must have no life as this as really been making me think!

Does Chev still come on here?
