Study finds all grey horses are related

Thanks Jill! That picture is very good. I figured it would be something like that, but didn't think it would be THAT noticeable! I am still waiting on my fleabitten gray mare to foal so now I will know some signs to watch for with the foal.

I have had and love arabians for years and this has been a long known fact. Ask any arab breeder. It is also true that ALL HORSES THAT ARE GRAY HAVE ARAB BLOOD. IF THE HORSE IS GRAY IT GOES BACK TO AN ARABIAN HORSE.

I can honestly say this thread is the first time I have ever seen gray "goggles" referred to as "reverse eyeliner". In the equine color genetic community goggles is the normal term for the already gray hairs around the eyes of a foal that is going to gray out.

Here is my gelding, Blue (a/k/a Erica’s Big City Blue By U), as a foal sporting his reverse eyeliner

Blue gets his grey from Egyptian King, back to whom all my greys can be traced
