You're right...he must have a grey parent to be grey. The grey gene doesn't "hide," it will always express if it is there. That doesn't mean an old horse won't grey-out somewhat, it doesn't mean sabino or roan. But to be a genetically grey, born dark and fade to different levels of white with dapples or flea bitten, they must have a grey parent.

If you really want to know, have him tested at UC Davis, then you'll know for sure.

I think your question triggered an onslaught of "hits" and crashed youngriders server...I can't get it to load, LOL. Can you link to a photo bucket pic or something similar instead?

A horse is monetary worth is based ultimately on one thing: what another person will pay for it. Lots of factors influence that, and few of them can be determined just by looking at a picture and reading that he has had some success in showing and competition. At what level? Fun? Local? 4-H? National? International? He seems priceless to you...so why try to attach a monetary value that is meaningless except for insurance or sale? Why not just enjoy that bond :o) as it doesn't come along every day.
