Graying

Horses with the mutation causing Graying are born colored but gradually lose hair pigmentation and become white by the age of 6-9 years. Gray horses show a very high incidence of dermal melanomas and reduced longevity. The loss of hair pigmentation in Gray horses is fully dominant whereas the speed of Graying and the incidence of melanoma is increased in homozygous animals.
