==========================================

Because of the age of your horse and it's lack of a BLM brand I 'd say chances 
are very slim that she's a kiger.They haven't been bred in captivity for that 
many years to have produced one that old so she would have been branded if she 
was adopted from the wild.Also,coloring alone does not make a mustang a "kiger" 
which only refers to a very small group from a specific management area in 
Oregon.Not all kigers from that area are dun,mine is a bay(but has" frills")but 
one registry only allows dun kigers to be papered making them primarily a color 
registry(KMA),kinda like "paints".Your horse couldn't be registered with them 
even if she was adopted from the right herd because she has white on her...not 
allowed by them.Unfortunately lots of politics have sprung up over the years 
around these horses because they are rare and have been sold for many thousands 
of dollars.Money often clouds the issue but they are really unusual horses with 
lots going on for them besides their splashy coloring.
The markings you describe are found on many types of mustangs and even on 
domestically bred horses.I once saw a "Canadian Quarter Horse"that looked like 
a dun zebra it had SOOOOO many leg stripes.You can find out all you ever wanted 
to know (and more,I'm sure!) by going on line.
