Champagne plus Gray:

Tucker, a gray Champagne stud (later gelded).  We see some odd things when gray combines with champagne.  First, the foal coat is even darker than usual.  Then, the freckling is darker (see muzzle and privates.) Third, and most remarkable, is the exaggerated "flea-bitten" effect that sometimes occurs.  The specks of color appear earlier in champagnes, and are much more numerous, often making the horse look "colored", and not gray at all, from a slight distance.

Emailing ICHR:  Horse color questions will not be answered without the horse's breed and registered name, if any.  Due to the extensive research conducted by the ICHR, we are usually able to determine if a horse has champagne in its pedigree by recognizing the names of ancestors we have determined were champagne,
listed in the right column of each
entry in our
stud book.
ASK about "grade" horses,  please.
