Thanks everyone for your replies. Cant wait to go meet m potential new boy. Wish I could go this weekend but it's just not doable unfortuately. I'll be counting down the days! x
He's not too bad in winter, honestly, chuck a rug on and he will dazzle you with how clean he'll start, he picked up the name "daz" last winter cause everyone was shocked how bright white he was

Hehe didn't know if you'd see I'd posted. I'm still dying to go shopping, so will have to get lots of special shampoo and stuff!
I have a grey and am a big fan of them. I dont worry about keeping him spotless, he likes rolling. Greys seem to like mud more than other horses.
Over winter, accept that he/she will be muddy, but they will be happy.
Greys are for people who like grooming if you want your grey to stay clean!
I bath my grey 2-3 times a year.
There is nothing so satisfying as spending time grooming a dirty grey, I feel I have achieved something when I have a white horse at the finish. A sparkling grey is something to behold.
We live with the beige/brown/ming most of the time and then he gets a quick go over with dirtie beastie before a party and he ends up half presentable at least.

Maybe I am the only one - but I have a grey and she stays remarkably clean all year round - a quick brush over and she is sparkling!.... (Ducks to avoid all the things being thrown!

Yay - mine too. Sadly she is gone now, but she was always really clean, summer and winter
Just get used to a dirty horse I HATE keeping horses clean probably because mine live out 24/7 and my competition horse is GREY (white grey) and Ive just taken on another horse to sell for a friend who is, you guess it GREY. AGH.
