Hi everyone, well I have had this mare for four years, and we always thought she was a grey. I've talked to a couple of different people, and gotten a few different opinions. I just wanted to know what yours was. Just so you know, she is 5 right now. Keep in mind that these are probably the most unflattering pictures of this horse I have, but they show her color ok. She's actually quite a nice horse!
This mare was born bay.
At one, she shed that out and became a grey.
Since then, she has gone through various stages of grey. (Note, the third picture was taken late this winter, while she was 9 months pregnant!!
)
For some bground info: Her dam is a black/white pinto, and is Orion on the top and bottom. There are a lot of pintos, appaloosas, and pintaloosas. She has mottling
on her muzzle and her anus. She does have striped hooves. However, she has no spots (actually, she had one once, but it shed out!!
)
Now, my question is, will she grey out? Unfortunetly I do not know what her father looked like (Brewer's High N Mighty), but I do not know many in her immediate pedigree that where grey. I've had one person tell me she may be gulla. Is there a difference between grullO and grullA? Is one correct and one incorrect?
Also, do we show her is solid or multi color class? She has no spots. Will she get some with time? The mottling seems to have increase this year while she is pregnant. There has been a lightening in her color when you look at it very broadly, but nothing very drastic. Very sutble changes.
Now, questions number 2. We bred her to a palomino, 2 blue eyes, Rowdy grandson this year. Unfortunetly I dont know any more in the way of color in his pedigree, but what the heck will that baby look like? The stallion has so far thrown a grey filly (out of a dominent grey mare) and maybe a palomino out of a black pintaloosa who has Orion somewhere up there.
Sorry this is so long, hope someone can trudge through it all and help me out. Thank you all very much!!
