I have never seen that before! Maybe it is an AC glitch.

:lol: yup has to be a glitch of some kind. Gray horses don't just regain color after they have turned gray.
But then again, anything is possible in Horse World Online :D

I had that exact same thing happen with a black Arab mare I snagged off of the AC. Was black then shifted to bay. Honestly disappointed in her D:

aw, that's too bad; the black ones [my personal favorite :) ] are hard to come by; I can see why you were disappointed.

VERRRYYY common in AC horses, in fact I have quite a bit of them. But I have not seen a gray turn to bay. I've seen only bay to gray. Hope this helps :)

Thank you. I would expect the gray in your horses shown above because there is gray in their background either sire or dam side. Once you have gray in your lines you have potential to get it again. I too have had several turn gray later that hardly showed up when they were born [usually you can see it around the eyes]; but there was always gray somewhere back in the pedigree. With AC stock we never know whether there is going to be gray coming from their ancestors. But as you said I've never seen a gray turn back dark before. That is what's new to me. Definitely has to be a glitch. I don't have a problem with it at all since I was not breeding for color, just surprised to see the change.
