Could you guys please help me figure out his breed? the person i bought him from someone who said that he was a buckskin.... no breed was stated. I call him buckskin because he doesnt look alot like a quarter horse.

hes a 12 year old gelding

Hi Deliahs,

Your horse is actually a Dunn.......very cute too. I also think he is a quarter horse and maybe a solid appaloosa cross. Either way the fact that he has a dorsal stripe makes him a member of a very ancient and hardy breed. I for one will always call that colouring a buckskin. 

BUCKSKIN: Body coat some shade of tan, from very light (creme) to very dark (bronze). Points (mane, tail, legs and ear frames) are black or dark brown. Dorsal not required. 
DUN: Body coat some shade of tan, from very light (creme) to a dull or smutty brown (earth tone). Points, dorsal stripe and other dun factor markings are dirty black or smutty brown. There are many shades and variations in the dun color. Dorsal stripe required. Note: The buckskin colored horse with dun factor (dorsal stripe, leg barring, ear frames, shoulder stripes, face masking and cobwebbing) is the ideal color that ABRA was founded to preserve over thirty years ago. 

Here is a list of the Dun Factors
Mottling - reverse dappling, sploches or dark smoke, can be found on the forearm, gaskins, shoulders and stifle
Dorsal Stripe - dark line down the back from withers to tail
Shoulder stripes and neck stripes - markings on the neck and shoulders may either be single or multiple lines often combined with dark patches, called shadows. These also are on the withers.
Leg barring is some times referred to as tiger stripes or zebra striping. They maybe found on both the front and back legs. 
Frosting can be at the edge of the mane and base of the tail, and may also be intermixed. The base color of the mane must still be dark for the horse to be considered a true dun. 
Masking is dark shading on the muzzle that extends up toward the eyes. Most horses have masking on the bridge of the nose, but it can extend around the horse head on to his jaws. 
Cob webbing are lines of dark color that start on the forehead and may extend down over the eyes. 
Ear tips are a darker outline of color around the outside edge of the ear. Some horses may have shadows of color on the back of their ears, or even pronounced horizontal stripes.
