English: Unless a horse is born white because of the influence of other genetic factors, a genetically gray horse will always be born coloured, and will only turn grayer and whiter with age. Horses gray out at different paces and in different ways. Certain breeds gray out very quickly, and some gray foals will express strong indicators of graying very early on, even to the point that its "true" pigmentation barely has time to show up before being grayed out. Some gray foals will only get a few white hairs here and there in the body with the first coat shed, and may not turn white-gray at all. Most grays develop at a medium speed, going mostly white at 5 or 6 years.
Some indicators
  • white-haired rings around the eyes
  • previously neat facial white markings developing roaned edges
  • intensely pigmented birth coat
  • drastic darkening of red pigment to almost black
