Grey?

I don't think she's gray or roan. I think she's just a brown buckskin. Buckskins tend to get silvery hairs at about that age. There's one posted on here somewhere that looks TOTALLY gray, it's really wild.

I don't see it where it typically starts either....I vote no gray.

Well that's good then!! I never thought she was grey the first time I saw pictures of her, but was asked again recently and was wondering if maybe I was wrong!
Thanks!

Oh here it is... she belongs to Heather (as does the photo):

You'd have a hard time arguing THAT wasn't gray. :rofl

Gosh, see what you mean. The OP mare hasn't got anything on that!!

Bere in mind Heather's one is clipped in that photo which is why it looks grey !

But I agree no grey.

True, but I HAVE seen buckskins who were not clipped and still looked that gray.

Lol I had someone tell me I had been duped and bought a grey horse, not a buckskin. It was winter and he had a greyish, light brown winter coat lol.
He was very suprised when my horse turned a golden buckskin in summer :mrgreen:

I do not think Heather's horse looks Grey I think it looks Buckskin!

Sure... to someone who's been breeding horses (and actually paying attention to color) for 30 years. :booty I'll bet if I posted that photo on HGS (and asked the "color gurus" not to respond) we'd get 30 responses saying she's gray. Some would even argue and demand to see photos of the parents. :rofl

ya but she also still does not think Jazzy's going gray.... ;)

OMG I BURST out laughing at that!!! :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

Touche my friend, touche.

I thought she looked grey after clipping but even before she looked it a bit too..I think its a combo of her cream being so light and having sooty too.

don't think there's much arguing on that at this point, lol. If it's decent weather this weekend I was going to try to stand her up and get some actual good photos of her for once :lol:

It's most definitely stunning - she's pretty no matter - but I'll recognize a good clip job next time!!! I ASSURE YOU!

Don't get me wrong, I'm just getting old. I love er.

I admit I am still not sure....everyone jumped on that bandwagon very very quickly, but I am not 100% convinced that it is Grey...or maybe that it is [i]just[/i] Grey.
For example, that TWH filly, that was Sabino and had NO Grey???
How many would have said she for sure was Grey if her breeding had not been known??
When my Welsh mare starting going all the colours of the rainbow it was.....interesting!
But Grey was never an option, even all those years ago I knew, without a Grey parent, there was no way she was Grey.
If I had not known her breeding I might have, at certain stages of the procedure, thought it possible.
Then she went almost black, so I thought again!!
Sooty over Buckskin, with pangare, is ....interesting.
