Re: Re: White hairs on a chestnut

To Maryanne and anyone else who might know,
Of my 3, one, Fox, is Egyptian, a greyed out chestnut (still has his
chestnut flea bites).  Fox is the only one never bothered by fly allergy or
mosquito bites.  Now he is also tough as nails, never needs vet care, only
needs his hooves trimmed every other time, but I wonder if his coloring does
act as protection?  I had thought he might be prone to sunburn, but no.
They always have some shade, but don't seek it out much and he doesn't seem
to burn.  Do others with grey arabs have this experience?  Is that why there
are so many greys out there?
