A friend on Facebook was posting about a silver dapple PRE used in a movie. Can be seen here:

We are really curious if there are others like this or if he is a cross. Or if we're looking at a color that isn't really silver. Also a video is linked in the comments of another similar colored horse.

The first one in the pic I'm
The first one in the pic I'm pretty sure, is just gray. You can see the gray along the flanks and in the girth area. The one in the video looks like he could be silver. I'm wondering however, if he could be like the filly that was posted here a while back that looked silver but tested negative for it.

I would not be surprised at all if there is silver in Spanish breeds. Silver is found in multitudes of breeds all over Europe and is an old mutation. Given that it has such a wide range of expression, it also hides well. For example, the silver in QHs often looks hardly more than sunfading.
