Re: Black or Black?
There are different shades of black though, trained horses are generally shinier for lack of a better word and some horses that have the Turkmene breed in their history can have a breed specific shine to their coat.

Re: Black or Black?
Hmm so is Make Me a Bird grullo or just a different shade of black? How can I tell?

Re: Black or Black?
Well he has faint stripes on his legs and if you remove the saddlepad you can see a faint dorsalstripe aswell as the darker area around the withers

Re: Black or Black?
Based on pedigree and a visible dorsal stripe yes I would call that a Black Dun aka Grullo or Grulla depending on gender
they are really gorgeous with the Dun on a black base
