If you look at this horse as a foal.
She is a chestnut with spots and stockings? No, not a chestnut. But whatever.
But now... She has turned gray?! What happened?

Horse sense is the thing a horse has which keeps it from betting on people.

Re: Confused
If you look at her sire's side, the horses in his pedigree have both the LP Varnish and Greying gene, which combined to make her grey out.mlloftus wrote:If you look at this horse as a foal.

Her foal picture shows adult colour, which is the first and early sign of grey on HWO (bay dun silver pintaloosa), and from there she gradually greys out. Her sire is grey too, and it only takes one copy, grey is dominant over every other colour.

Re: Confused
Technically, she's just a grey. However many people also mention the colour under the grey. As I wrote before, she'd be bay dun silver pintaloosa (or bay dun silver blanket tobiano) under the grey.mlloftus wrote:Tjigra wrote:...If I am understanding, her sire was Gray.
