Will filly turn grey?

[Cnwc]

9 month filly, spotted dam in pictures, black sire.
Will she spot out like dam?
She went very dark and since first shed she’s a lot lighter/brighter chestnut. Getting very light near her tail.
Can’t see in the pictures but tail has a lot of black and grey.

Others on here more expert than me on spotted genetics, but a grey has to have at least one grey parent since grey is dominant, so if her sire isn't grey nor will she be. She doesn't have "goggles" which is a common first indication of greying out. Whether she spots out like mum or remains solid I'm afraid I can't tell but very pretty whatever.

Hard to see from pictures but there are no obvious signs that she has inherited the Lp gene from her dam. Without that gene she won't get the white varnishing through her coat. And as above, she definitely can't be grey.

I very much doubt that she will change in anyway.

No, I don't think so either, sorry

Thank you all, I love her as she is but when I bought I was told she may change so just wondered

I have found a dead giveaway to tell you if a solid coloured horse has inherited the spotting gene is to look at the colour of the hooves. I have been involved with appaloosas since 1974 and the one thing that always seem to show up is that the dark legs will have obviously white/striped hooves. My current mare is quarter horse x appaloosa and minimally marked. She is bay with a few hard to see dark spots and a few white hairs. She hasn't really got much in the way of mottled skin but she has white hooves. The attached photo shows them quite clearly. Your pony looks to have dark hooves.

Can I ask what you mean by "goggles"?

Goggles!!

This filly is by a grey stallion and is already going lighter.
