the white hair, but they will often have white skin in
the damaged spot where their skin would normally be
black."

It's true they don't show white hairs, which wouldn't show up anyway, but all 
of the greys I have seen that have a scar or pressure damage due to poor 
fitting tack have DARK hair over that spot.  I have two greys that have 
these, and know of at least two or three others.  It has something to do with 
the way the pigment develops with the greying gene, and the color changes 
that occur with each shedding cycle.  jeri
