My silver bays...

Post by Sunpath »

Got a question regarding one of my silver bays. Neither of the parents are gray. His color is gradually fading - is this some sort of varnish gene at play?



I have another silver bay that is a tad older, and he still has solid color:

The first one probably has some speckles that aren't visible. Sometimes, they hide under the mane, ect. So he has appaloosa varnishing going on, which is where the greying comes from.
