We all love a will he or won't he guessing game of grey genetics, right!?
This colt is a yearling IDSH. His father was a bay, now gray. His dam is a bay. Big man here came out chestnut. He did not have the typical grey signs, but what do you think?
I'm in the Grey group as well, you can really see it on his face and looks to be in the flank area too. Pictures are not to good but what I can see yep Grey..
And just wanted to point out, that halter is way to small for him..
Do you have newborn photos? Red based grey foals have some clear tells that folks who aren't familiar with them don't know to look for. Photos of him within a few days of birth would work as long as they show the colour of his feet.. other signs I look for in a red based foal are the colour of the eyelids (within a few hours of birth), and whether they have any hyperpigmentation.
I am in the grey camp at this stage but yearlings can be tricky sometimes and newborn photos would make it a lot clearer.
