In Norway the colour of the native horse or pony is dun, varying from
almost cream-colour to dark mouse-dun; and an animal is not considered
purely bred unless it has the spinal and leg stripes.[130] In one part
of the country my son estimated that about a third of the ponies had
striped legs; he counted seven stripes on the fore-legs and two on the
hind-legs of one pony; only a few of them exhibited traces of
shoulder-stripes; but I have heard of a cob imported from Norway which
had the shoulder as well as the other stripes well developed. Colonel
Ham. Smith[131] alludes to dun-horses with the spinal stripe in the
Sierras of Spain; and the horses originally derived from Spain, in some
parts of South America, are now duns. Sir W. Elliot informs me that he
inspected a herd of 300 South American horses imported into Madras, and
many of these had transverse stripes on the legs and short
shoulder-stripes; the most strongly marked individual, of which a
coloured drawing was sent me, was a mouse-dun, with the
shoulder-stripes slightly forked.

In the North-Western parts of India striped horses of more than one
breed are apparently commoner than in any other part of the world; and
I have received information respecting them from several officers,
especially from Colonel Poole, Colonel Curtis, Major Campbell,
Brigadier St. John, and others. The Kattywar horses are often fifteen
or sixteen hands in height, and are well but lightly built. They are of
all colours, but the several kinds of duns prevail; and these are so
generally striped, that a horse without stripes is not considered pure.
Colonel Poole believes that all the duns have the spinal stripe, the
leg-stripes are generally present, and he thinks that about half the
horses have the shoulder-stripe; this stripe is sometimes double or
treble on both shoulders. Colonel Poole has often seen stripes on the
cheeks and sides of the nose. He has seen stripes on the grey and bay
Kattywars when first foaled, but they soon faded away. I have received
other accounts of cream-coloured, bay, brown, and grey Kattywar horses
being striped. Eastward of India, the Shan (north of Burmah) ponies, as
I am informed by Mr. Blyth, have spinal, leg, and shoulder stripes. Sir
W. Elliot informs me that he saw two bay Pegu ponies with {59}
leg-stripes. Bur
