Blood mark question

Can blood marks only appear on gray horses? I've read on some forums that that is the case, but I received an e-mail this evening from a wise color guru that implied they can appear on other colored horses, too. Thanks for any info! :)

Bloodmarks, as I know them, I beleive are reserved for Greys. Now, they may also be a somatic mutation, where the grey genes are there but being blocked. In that sense, then yes "blood marks" are seen in other breeds.
