Meet "CC", another long-legged red head of ours 😍 CC was bred by MJK Quarter Horses in Wisconsin. We had purchased her as a weanling in June of 2021 to be a companion to our orphan c**t that we had that summer. She is a lovely mare! I had dreams of showing her in some local halter shows just to get my feet wet again, but my schedule will not allow it right now 😭 Fit this young girl up and make her YOUR show horse!! I can't find any faults with her conformation. She can be a bit stubborn and she has never behaved for the farrier, requiring sedation. She would benefit from a better program for her soft feet. Nothing major, but maybe some good supplements. We just provide loose mineral, and she just needs a little extra care that we can't accommodate. She has been growing up in a large herd on big South Dakota pasture. I have not done any formal training with her. She is ready to start any way that you would like.

Shipping can be arranged at the buyer's expense. A coggins test and health certificate is included in the sale. 30 days free board with contract.

πŸ‘‘ CC's sire is now proudly owned by Heart of the Valley Performance Horses if you would like to check him out!

"Vera" is a very easy mare to have in our breeding program. She is sweet, good to catch, fairly good for the farrier, a very easy keeper, and has been a great mother to her 2 fillies that she has had for us. She had a magnificent homozygous splash dun filly in 2023 which we retained, and a homozygous dun filly this year in 2024. Vera was pasture bred back to our young AQHA, APHA smoky grulla sabino stallion, PICASSOS DUDE this past summer and is due to foal in May 2025. This foal will be double registered with both AQHA and APHA, homozygous dun and 7-panel n/n by parentage. It will either be a bay dun, dunskin, grulla, or smoky grulla and should have some fancy white markings based on the parent's white genes, but not guaranteed. This foal will be big built with good, thick legs and body! I am excited to see this cross!!

Vera will be offered unless we move another mare, then she will stay. Just thinning our numbers due to keeping our own bred, young stock to move up! Shipping can be arranged if needed at the buyer's expense as well as a pregnancy confirmation by palpitation or blood work since she is too far along for ultrasound. The coggins test and health certificate will be included in the sale.

PEDIGREE:

15.2 HH @ maturity

Ropers, this c**t is for you! He has the right pedigree to want that cow and has been tracking everything that moves in his space! He has a very natural curiosity about his environment, doesn't hesitate to come up and check out new things, and is ready to join up with a partner to get him where he needs to be. He is handsome with his black points and unique facial markings. He is weighing in at 600 # already and growing steadily! Weaned, on grain, working on halter breaking shortly when a stall becomes available or you can take him as he is. This is not some runty weanling raised in a barn! He is all muscled up from our summer pastures here in South Dakota. He knows how to watch his feet and misses every hole at a flat run. SMART and SENSIBLE!

If you would like current photos, please message us! AQHA papers in hand along with genetic testing results, transfer, coggins and a health certificate. He is ready to travel! We can assist with shipping if needed. Located in South Dakota. $4800.00 USD.

This evening we laid to rest a mare with a heart of gold. DUN IT IN SUGAR was affectionately called "Sweet Tea" and she WAS the sweetest mare in the pasture. Tea was retired from her reined-cow Horse career and pasture raised two beautiful grulla foals; a filly and a c**t in 2021 and 2023.

In fall of 2023, Tea came down with an infection that became chronic. Her liver was compromised and she had lost over 300 #'s. She went downhill extremely fast. It was at this time that she had stopped using her hip and was barely weight bearing on her back leg. In time we did get Tea's illness in check and she slowly recovered from her infection. She had continued to fight, put on weight, enough that you wouldn't take a second glance at her and think that she was malnourished, so we had decided to start working on her hip. We don't have access to a lot out here in rural SD, but we did massage therapy/chiropractic care which helped a good deal, but it was ultimately just a band-aid. We had continued to care for Tea to the best of our abilities this summer. We were able to collect just 4 oocytes from Tea on Monday this week. If we are afforded any luck at all this year with our horses, we will get an embryo or two by Gunnatrashya πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

Rest in Peace sweet mare πŸ¦„πŸͺ½ πŸ’ž

New pictures of PICASSOS DUDE tonight. He's coming 3 and is a beast πŸ’ͺ I'm very happy that we decided to keep this c**t around. Hes going to make some gorgeous foals! This is what color breeding is supposed to look like! Conformation above all! Casso is homozygous black and dun as well as sabino, cream, and w20. He is double registered AQHA and APHA and 7-panel n/n. We are expecting 3 double registered foals sired by him in 2025. Two of the mares are splash 1 and the other is overo. I can hardly wait! πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™

This beautiful grulla c**t had a deposit placed on him when he was born, but the buyer has disappeared 🀯 Absolutely blows my mind! Here is one of the only grulla foals that we have gotten out of JK DUNITS JEWEL! This is the first time that he has been advertised!

He's athletic and built for hard work. Big b***d and well put together! 4 solid black feet, just a tiny star for white markings. Very quiet, thinks about what we are asking and doesn't make a fuss. Raised on the open prairie at our ranch in South Dakota. He is ready to travel! Coggins and AQHA papers in hand. If you need a shipper, we can help!

welcome to DAKOTA DUNS QUARTER HORSES

Dakota Duns specializes in breeding American Quarter Horses (AQHA registered) and American Paint horses (APHA registered) that specifically carry the DUN gene. Putting color and loud dun factor behind confirmation and a great pedigree of well known performance horses is what we strive for! We are a small family operation located in north central South Dakota, about 30 miles east of Lake Oahe and the Missouri River. We have added some very nice mares with high percentage foundation lines into our stock. Poco Bueno, Blackburn, Doc Bar, Hollywood Dun It, My Blue Casino, and Joe Quincy are big contributors to Dakota Dun's breeding program! We are also adding some loud overo APHA mares to our herd to boost the chrome factor! Starting in 2018, we will be offering a few splash white dun foals for sale. Foals will be offered for sale every year as they arrive. Take a look! Payment plans accepted through weaning. We do have a contact list if you would like to be notified of a foal's arrival. Feel free to call or email us with any questions that you may have.
