Switches still happen now, I recall reading about some here and there. And they were only discovered because they were breeding animals and as pointed out, the dna didn't match. they were figured out I believe. Was it Dare To Command who was switched with another horse years ago? Forget the other h...

In France, it is usually defined as "grey or roan" a grey horse with colored hairs. In fact it's a greying horse on which we can see the base color.

I had some emails with the breeder of the horse when he was a few months old, he sent me pictures, I posted some with his authorization on the TBC forum under the username of “francegalop”, and two of them have been used on the pedigree query website to illustrate his page and the page of his dam Fl...

I did some looking last night trying to find a list of other foals by Charge, and came up with nothing. Anyones else looked into that aspect? Are there are other grey siblings of Question Day out of non-grey mares? On the french database France Galop, 27 horses are born to Chargé d'Affaires. Questi...

If this is possible, I think that could be the explanation.
I wrote to the stud where Chargé d'Affaires stood last year, and they told me he is a BAY. So no late greying.

I though that one of the parents turned out grey but how ? The sire is bay and the dam has no grey parents. The informations on pedigree query are correct, they are the same as on the french databases.
