Appy Mare

On the fence.
I suspect she is an appy gone grey...so it would be hard to tell. She does have a significant mottling around her muzzle/eyes there could be other things going on to cause that. :-? Did she come with papers? (wishful thinking I guess, but that could help if she had a pedigree)
Diane, what is your opinion - you're the Appy expert here... :grin:
No papers of course lol. Her
No papers of course lol. Her front hooves are distinctly striped, back not at all. She is 8 - people before me had her for a few years and she hasn't changed colors at all. She has had 2 foals - both varnish appy with no blankets at all neither grey. She has zero varnish marks on her anywhere - just perfectly white except for the tiny spots.
They are finally all shed out
They are finally all shed out - here is a picture of her where you can see her spots. Tiny and plentiful though they are. They look rather like my grey mare`s flea bites spots lol.

She is definitely appy - skin
She is definitely appy - skin is mottled completely all over and I mean all over - when she is wet there isn't a solid bit of skin color bigger than a fist to be found.
She has had 2 varnish appy foals from a QH stallion (that I know of). Neither foal has grey, I was wondering if she maybe had grey as well as I know little enough about the range of phenotypes for appy spots. I have spotted some large black spots that look to be greying out, so I highly suspect grey - but if people have had appys that looked like her, well I was thinking maybe not grey then.
I should just get her tested, but as I won't be breeding her, it is just for curiosity sake.

You can see when the hair is really short that there is a profile difference between the dark and light areas.
IMO shes gray.
