Filly Coat

Post by Valiant »

Hello!

I just breed my first Akhal-Teke and I'm having a lot of trouble understanding her coat because her face is turning white (her mother also has that feature.)
How do I classify her coat?

So, she is considered grey?

I believe that is the generally accepted definition. Some say a graying palomino, or a palomino that's graying. Some offer just gray. I generally put gray in front of the base colors (just to keep track of them). So I would say a gray palomino.
It comes down to preference.
