Hello, I am new at this website.

I live in Holland and see that more and more people are starting to import amha for america. I breed with 3 grullo mares and my dream is to one day buy a grullo amha stallion. But to be honest I dont see examples of nice grullo's.

Can anyone show me a nice grullo stallion ? I am still window shopping, will probably buy in a couple of years but would like to see some examples.

Welcome to the forum!

This is a stallion that we co-own with Erica, here on the forum also, I feel that he is a nice example of a grulla stallion. I think I may have one mare bred to him for next year, hopefully I will get to see what his offspring will look like soon.
 
No grulla stallions here - I too love the color grulla but just wanted to say welcome to the forum!

I have a grullo stallion. He is not the Arab type but more Quarter horse type. He has a wonderful personality and does produce some nice offspring. He is LWO+ and has sired 4/4 pinto foals so far, 2 grullo pinto colts, 1 red dun overo colt and 1 red dun tovero filly.

These aren't really good photos of him either.

Here is a better picture ( to show the grullo coloring ) on Erica's Smoke Rings in the Dark (the stallion minih posted)

He is a Reserve National Champion yearling stallion last year - he is out of two Reserve National Champions and is a grandson of Martins Boozers After Dark, Yellow Diamond Little Feather, and ggrandson of Hemlock Brooks Egyptian King.

And here is a 05 grullo colt (gray gene also) - Erica's Gone and DunIT now owned by Jill. He has the same dam as "Ringo" and his sire is a BTU son. He just went National Top Ten 7th out of a class of 40.

And I have this mare (dam of the above two) MCC Feathers Silver Streak, bred for a March 06 foal to my Buckskin Buckeroo son with hopes of a grullo FILLY.

Thank you so much for your answers.

Its nice to see there are some nice grullo's !

I bred a little filly foal this year, she is the old shetland type but managed to get a championship. Next year we expect 1 foal from a grullo mother and an amha bred black pinto father.

This was this years foal, in comparison to your bred foals she is heavy boned.

Not a stallion, I'm afraid, this is a mare I bred (see, no need to go all the way to America!!)

Here's another picture of my baby boy from Erica, who as she said, is a 1/2 brother to her and Terri's Ringo. I just fell in love with "DunIT" from the first picture I saw of him. I think Erica agreed to let me buy him when he was just a couple weeks old. I was asking her PLEASE let me buy him right from the start! I'm so proud that he is National Top Ten and the Nationals were his first ever show

Welcome! I too love grullo/grulla's. I am waiting to see what Erica's mare has next year, but I hope it's a colt.

Here is one of my best mare's Grullo colt that was born this year and the second time this color has come out of this mating. He is a Rowdy Grand son and he is for sale.

I know he is for sale I have been looking at him a couple of times

For most Dutch people its still the shipping costs that keep us from buying.
 
I have two gorgeous grullo mares here, a fourteen year old one and her 2005 weanling daughter.

Both have the distinct dorsal, the stripe through the mane/tail, and leg barring, and darker face mask. I saw a stallion at our State Fair this year that looked very much like these two, but I doubt he is for sale.

Often I see grullos that are merely smokey black in appearance, but I'm seeing more and more that have the true markings, etc.

Here is the mare:

Here is the filly:

(doesn't show her color very well).

Here is a better pic of the stripes on her legs:

The sire of this filly is a buckskin son of Little Kings White Russian. The mare above is bred for a 2006 foal to the same stallion. Might be a colt?!? Either way, this mare is very dominant in the dun coloration, as almost every foal she's ever had has been colored just like her, no matter the stallion. I do like the color!

Both of the above girls are for sale, too.

Happy shopping!
