Re: White hairs on a chestnut

["Maryanne Stroud Gabbani" <gabbani@starnet.com.eg>]

I have a 14 yr old chestnut mare and for the last four summers she's been
getting more and more white hairs mostly on her rump. No saddle there. Go
figure. I guess maybe she's planning to be a roan-ass as she gets older or
something. This is an Arab by the way. Can they turn Appaloosa?
