I always love it when there's natural color horses, and when I saw this one I just fell in love with it. <3

Same! Natural colours just look wonderful.
Though I didn't need to get 5 of them haha
I'm really curious about the white one. I hope its going to be just as lovely!

I certainly don't see grulla ... I really hope that is not what this one is suppose to be .. Because I would love to see an accurate patterned grulla in the future.

I want to say it is mouse grey ...

(Picture is mine, don't give me crap, I know the colour of my own horse.)

It is a mouse gray...flat out...Mouse Gray.

The colours on that horse does look like mouse grey - my two cents on the matter - though sooner or later the artist who designed them (apologies, the identity of said artist is unknown to me as of now) will, most likely, say which colour/pattern inspired them, as soon as all of the litter upgrade to their adult pictures; or, in fact, even earlier. Still, regardless of the 'official' colour/pattern, they are a superb litter and extremely well done.

"Mouse Gray" or "Mouse Dun" and "Grulla" are the same thing, but I don't think it's a grulla. I think it's a particular variation on blue roan.

The color on the muzzle and flanks is pangare/mealy.

I'm actually wondering if it was based off of a real horse.

This is looking to become a heated discussion, so let's not allow it to go that way.

Grulla The grulla color consists of a black horse with the dun modifier. This color can be silvery, smoky, or a mouse color. Each of the hairs will have the silvery color, it is not a mix of light hairs and dark hairs. Grulla horses also have the dun characteristics.

I found an exact picture of what grulla looks like and mouse gray doesn't even come close to it.

[Shadowreine]

I double checked.

"Mouse Dun" is the British English term for "Grulla".

"Mouse Grey" appears to be being used by some people to refer to Mouse Dun and others to refer to a dark dappled grey horse. If you do an image search on "mouse grey" on Google, you'll see both grullas/duns and greys. No wonder we're getting into confusion territory here.

I don't think it's heated at all - just a term that's being used in two different ways by different people.
