Register a grey foal A and R

[kimie28]

I have a bay truning grey colt that I need to send in his paperwork. His sire was the same way and from the pictures, they registered him as a grullo and not grey. He was already 2 at that time. Is this common for them to do this? If I were to send in his pictures now, they will see a bay colt, not grey. Or do you register them as bay since it is their base coat? How do you grey breeders handle this?

Register him as bay turning grey.

You regsiture as a base color then put in "may change colors" in the markings. When you bring perm then you switch to gray.

Only way I have been able to do it so far.

I have a colt (now gelding) that is turning gray --- did not show up in foal photos -- so both registries registered him as BAY even though I specified Bay turning gray. I will change the color in his permanent papers --- and as I reported it at birth - will argue that I should not have to pay for a color change, should they decide to charge me.
