Yes, they can be marked but it isn't as visible as on a non-grey. The irons are held on for longer so that the fur is killed to such a degree it dies and falls out leaving the mark as pink skin.
Thank you

Beloved friend.
No freezemark.
Very beloved then.
Please freezemark. 99% recovery rate. Would probably be back in its paddock by tea time if it had of been marked.
greys get freezemarked by killing the hair. It is just as visible if the owner keeps the area clipped on a regular basis.
Where everyone jumped on applecart comment being harsh, it is true though. The success is higher if they are, I think its a good present to by your horse. I wont say any more on subject.
A grey pony has been found in rugby its on the hho I hope to god its not this lad.

I can confirm that the poor piebald pony foal found in the river in Rugby by the RSPCA and reported by Horse and Hound is not TIC TOC the missing 24 yr old welsh x shetland pony.

What a load of c**p.
A horse was stolen many years ago from a field from near where we work.
Said mare was freezemarked, microchipped and VERY distinctive.
Pony is still missing (and owner still looking) to this day!
I hope Tic Toc turns up very soon to make that little boys christmas special
Still missing then - I can't believe he was considered worth stealing. I know someone whose beloved horse was stolen about 5 years ago (Toby) and never found - she is still living in hope, and that is almost the worst case scenario.
True but ENTIRELY inappropriate at this time, and worded in a deliberately cruel manner.

It wasn't worded in a deliberate and cruel manner, and suprised that you would think such a thing tbh. It was worded straight from the heart. It never ceases to amaze me that people come onto the 'lost and stolen' section telling tales of woe and heartache about their much loved horses, and how they can't possibly carry on without them, they are their whole life, etc, etc. But they didn't carry out a perfectly sensible and safe method to prevent them getting stolen. Even getting their much loved animals microchipped, or their hooves branded, painting their rugs with a 'made up' freezemark number, or displaying 'our horses are marked by Farmkey' signs would help to prevent theft. I wonder if the OP did do any of these things..... but I think we know what the answer will be. Sometimes you have to make an bit of an effort in this world.
I will NEVER understand how people can spend £2K on a saddle but are reluctant to spend £40 quid on a freezemark.
Sorry if I have offended people and I am sure it doesn't help the OP in this case but maybe she will think about it for the future horses she has. rrendously.
I VERY much doubt that the poor OP spent £2000 on a saddle for this poor little pony, so you can drop that attitude too.
Yes whatever.
I can't find the icon with the rolling eyes.
Have they let you out of school early today?
