Re: White hairs on a chestnut

In Egypt, virtually every equine (other than donkeys) is at least part Arab
and many if not most of the mules and horses do tend to roan out as they get
older. It's amazing how many colours you can see in a herd of yearlings
here, but get a herd of 10 year olds and they're mostly shades of grey.
