In Phil Sponenberg's books, "Equine color Genetics", there is a photo of a "Silvery Grullo" in each edition: In the first edition the picture is of a Spanish mustang, in the 2nd edition it is, what do you know, a very light colored grey Fjord! Both are pretty much the same light color as Abby. Sponenberg lists the possible genetics as including the cremello gene. He also stresses that there are many various shades of the different dilute colors. Odin is gray but, until recently, I would have said his hair coat was white. However, he has spent some time stalled in a barn at "cowboy boot camp" and I was astonished to discover that his coat can be an actual gray color. Sun does make a difference. Gail
