Welsh cobs: Why so few greys compared with Welsh ponies?

[cp1980]

Do I have poor observation, or is it really the case that grey Welsh Cs and Ds are rare even through grey is common in As and Bs?

Yeah, it is a bit odd that. Not sure why....??

 

[Weezy]

Yes I have noticed that too!

As far as I know, grey Welsh cobs show a throwback to the Mountain ponies - I suppose as the breeding of D's has become more refined, the influence of the Mountain pony has faded, leaving very few greys! I know very little about Welshies though, so I'm prepared to be corrected!

There's a cremmello sec D at the stud I work at...but thats as close as I've seen to a grey...we have a very unusual coloured colt though...as a foal: http://www.tresorya-stud.co.uk/images/photo4.jpg
