Gray colouring is common in many horse breeds. It is estimated that approximately one in ten horses carry a mutation in their genetics which means they will grey with age. Different breeds and individuals within these breeds can take different amounts of time to grey out. However from an early age you will have a pretty good idea if a foal is going to be a gray.
When naming a Gray there are some classic names that you can consider depending on their individual look. Some gray’s appear nearly completely white while others are dappled gray, dark gray, or even what is known as Fleabitten gray.
Here are a list of some of the classics alongside some of my favourites:
