I was discussing with family earlier about the lack of any grey sections D's around. I've never seen one. Though after googling I see they do exist - saw one that was an A x D to get they grey colour.
Does anybody own one? Or know the history of why there aren't very many around? Does anybody know if grey is a recessive colour and how difficult it might be to introduce? Anybody know of any grey D stallions?

Grey is now rare in D's here is one for you http://www.skelwithstud.com/mares.htm

As grey is a dominant gene it is easy to loose it from a breed or in this case a section, as a dominant once lost it cannot be regained in a line unless you breed to another grey. It has certainly not been a fashionable colour in the D section so that's probabaly the reason for it being rare now. I suspect that there are no grey D's that have a pedigree of just D's for many generations.

I think it might be more prminant the closer you get to A's!! There are loads in that section! So the C's being a smaller section would have some A and B crosses so more grey. That's how they got the above grey, he is the son of a grey C mare who was a daughter of a Grey section A and a D stallion, so they went back to the A's to regain the grey in this case.

 
i know of some grey sections D's. the A x D is a pet hate of mine, which is some breeders way of breeding a C. IMO if you want a C, breed c to c, not cross sections.
 
I have two Grey pure D mares and 2 Grey C mare. And one sec a x D 2yo colt.
There are very few about.
Look out for my mares in the new Robin Hood Film. Llwynymaes Freda's Girl in nicknames 'Dangermous', she's white and the other is greyer.
Have used a Stallion Called Curtis mill Flyer from Nr Ascot but not Succesful.
Someones told me about a white stallion in Staffordshire.
I'll let you know if I breed a nice Gray Colt. Two Mares are heavy in foal.
