I thought this was a beautiful mare, she's nearby me, but I can't afford another horse right now. She is so stunning though! Her color is so unique! Just thought I would share :-p

Nope. Theoretically both can be simultaneous. Grulla is a completely different gene than roan, and yes, they are both black based. Thus she carries both genes (roan and dun), similar to how a dunalino carries both cream and dun.

Yup. Grulla roan is entirely possible. And that is what this horse is. Remember, a grulla is a black horse with a dun gene. A blue roan is a black horse with a roan gene. This horse is a black horse with both a dun gene and a roan gene. This is why it looks like a blue roan.

She is actually a very nice looking mare, beyond the color (which is stunning, I love roans). A little bit light on bone, but paired with a sturdier stallion, I can see her throwing some exceptionally nice babies.....if she has the temperament that they claim and showed some aptitude for some job beyond plodding on trails.

Well this CHFS site strives to sell horses that not only have color, but are built well. I know a few of the sellers, and a lot of them have the same mission. They compete in regular shows with their colored horses and win based on confo and temperament. It is nice to see some people that don't just say "oh what a pretty color" I swear some people don't notice the cow hocked, long backed, terrible footed, inbred horse that they are looking at, but instead just the pretty color. lol
