Grulla? but I could have no clue what I'm talking about. I've been out of horses for years. He's adorable!!

Red Roan or Washed out Red Roan.

True roans have dark faces, your guy's face is light. So I'm stuck between a varnish roan (one of the appaloosa colors - he doesn't show other appaloosa traits like spotted skin, so IDK about that one) or a bay going gray.

Looks like a sun faded Chocolate to me. = Black horse with a Silver Dapple gene(Z) or a Red Chocolate= Bay with a Silver Dapple gene. If he has a cream gene also then he is a Silver Dapple Buckskin. You can do color testing on him if you wish. Let me know, we have a great lab here in Florida that has very good prices.

He also might have two copies of the Silver Dapple (ZZ) gene. That makes him so light. I have and breed Rocky Mountain Horses and they also carry the Silver Dapple (Chocolate)(Z) gene.

Hope this helps,

Maye
