Shadow FAQs
What is a grullo horse?
Grullo, also called blue dun or mouse dun, is a rare horse colour with a slate-grey or mouse-grey coat and a black mane and tail. Grullos often have darker shading on the neck, just like Shadow.
Where does the name "grullo" come from?
The name comes from the Spanish word "grulla", which means crane – a bird with slate-grey feathers. In the UK, the same colour is often called blue dun or mouse dun, and it's even found in the Highland pony.
How rare are grullo horses?
Very rare! Only around 0.7% of the American Quarter Horses registered each year are grullo. That makes Shadow's colouring truly special.
