Welcome to TawnyDun Stud
Penny Makinson runs the TawnyDun Stud as a rare Connemara Pony Stud – it is possibly the only stud in England and Ireland not breeding with grey Connemara ponies, but using bay & dun (buckskin) ponies so that the foals will not carry the dominant grey gene.
Our foals will carry the agouti (bay) gene & sometimes the creme gene to produce bay and dun Connemara ponies who will not grey out as they mature – which is indeed very rare!

PLEASE NOTE :
Although the colour used is ‘dun’ for connemara ponies in Ireland, they are actually, genetically speaking, buckskin – a dilute of the agouti gene with the creme gene.
