The horse pictured is the Lusitano "ODIN" from Philippe Karl's book "Long Reining." Exhibiting a beautiful dapple grey.       Genetic discussion of grey white pattern gene horses: All horses with a grey gene will eventually turn white (except for those that get & keep a flea-bitten speckling pattern). Some grey slower or faster than others. I had a filly born with 2 grey parents, and she turned white very fast. I figured she was homozygous grey, but will do my research first before I claim that is typical. Grey is a favorite color among many cowboys, and is fancy in the sporthorse world. It is typically selected away from among roan, paint, and appaloosa breeders, etc., since it will eventually phenotypically overcome (whiten) the signature colors they are breeding for.       I would like to display a set of several photos of a single grey horse, from newborn foal to nearly white, in high quality photographs, and of a good conformation horse. If you have such a set of photos and wish to contribute them, please email me.       Jackies Gold Bee.

Illusive Dancer - This outstanding mare was first a very successful race horse, then a champion hunter, and now a top-notch broodmare, producing premium-scoring foals from a variety of stallions. She is a 16.3 hand gray registered with the American Warmblood Society and the America Quarter Horse Association (an appendix mare who earned her full papers). She received a premium score in her mare inspection and is approved by ISR/Oldenburg N.A. She was 4th in the nation in 1996 with the American Warmblood Society. Dancer has produced very high quality foals from Holsteiner, Hanoverian and Registered Irish Draught stallions. We believe that Dancer is a homozygous grey mare. Sonesta Farms Sporthorses, TX This is a registered AQHA palomino filly I owned, photographed here at 1 year of age, and turning grey. (I assume she is heterozygous). She started out a more typical palomino, but her points began to darken out, as though preparing for turning grey later. An interesting & beautiful color stage. She also showed the white spots that some grey horses develop. I sold her to Merle Plain Feather who lives on the Crow Reservation near Pryor, Montana.
