From looking at Abby's pedigree, couldn't she be the elusive grey dun with
the addition of the creme gene (in QH-speak, a smokey black and grulla in
the same package)? We keep hearing of the probability that the grey dun
masks the addition of the creme gene. This could be an explanation as to
the uncertainty of her true color and her ability to look grey dun but
produce white dun. Just a guess since her dam was white and sire was grey.
Makes sense to me, anyway.

It is Stone fox Farm's Abby- when she was a foal she was a very light
color- instead of the typical black shading on the face of a grey she had
light brown. Her eyes are also a very light amber color. As she matured
(3-4 years old) Her color on her face darkened to the typical dark grey.
There are pictures of Abby on our website in the gallery section.

the new white dun filly is Aimee Day's Drafn, a brown dun stallion.
