If a foal is born grey will it stay grey?

[Amber1012]

If a foal is born grey with a white blaze and white socks will it stay that colour? Or does grey turn to another colour?

 

[Wagtail]

Never known a grey to be born grey but if it's grey then it will stay grey, yes. Are you sure it's not a blue roan?

 

[Clodagh]

Like Wagtail I have never seen a grey foal and didn't believe it was possible. Lots of foals look silvery when born, black especially. What colour are his parents? Do you have pics?

Doesnt look like a grey to me, looks kinda like what a friends black foal looked like when born. Stayed Black onse foal coat was cast.

THIS /\

And looks like how blacks start out to me too.

 

[Wagtail]

Definitely black. He's gorgeous!

 

[Amaranta]

This foal will be black

Black foals are never born black, usually they are a mousey (as above) or silvery colour

ETA: Very cute btw

 

[FlaxenPony05]

Definitely black. What is he? He's really cute.

 

[Amber1012]

Definitely black. What is he? He's really cute.

His mum is a gypsy cob, father unknown...buy one get one free case lol

 

[Chestnut horse]

Ohh he is lovely, and looks like he will be black, enjoy.

 

[magicgirl]

It is going to be black

 

[Annagain]

He is adorable. I agree black, my old boy was this colour when he was born.

 

[wyrdsister]

So very cute! We had one born this sort of colour at our yard (much more silvery so very 'grey' looking, almost white on 'grey' with his socks and blaze too). He's pretty well black now, six months later.

 

[Kallibear]

AWWWW, he's fluffy and cute.

That baby fluff will fall out over the next month and he'll be black underneath. Whether he STAYS black is a completely different kettle of fish. He may still grey out when he's older. It depends what colour dad is.

 

[Amber1012]

I'd love it it he stayed this colour!

 

[mulledwhine]

He is as cute as a button

Looks like a black pony to me all the best are xx

 

[RutlandH2O]

Oh, what a cutie!!!

He'll be black, most definitely! All my black Shire foals were that colour at birth. There is a caveat, though. The sire of your foal is unknown. If he is grey, the foal could grey out.

He will turn black. Cute
