Certainly appears that way.
Funny that she doesn't have (or yet have) any stripings anywhere.

Her dam is that way except that the dam has the tiger eye gene. Her sire is black.

I looked briefly at both of them as well. Her dam does have a dorsal stripe.
It's a nice expression of grulla. Personally, I think have minimal or in her case (yet) no primitive markings at all, is extremely rare. It gives the dun on black (and probably would on other colors as well), a unique look of having a working cut (shaved), like some peopled do in winter.

I have a chestnut with a gentle expression with no markings (rather unremarkable really), but it does offer a similar look.

Quite unique.

Okay, thanks! (good pun, unremarkable)
