What Color is Chexy?
Many have asked "what color is Chexy?" Well, the answer is grulla (or sometimes spelled grullo). Grulla, which is pronounced "grew-ya", has the following characteristics. The body is slate colored (bluish gray as the blue heron) from light blue gray to brown-ish shade. Points and dun factor markings are black. A dorsal stripe is required. The word grulla is Spanish and I am told translates in English to "crane." Indeed, when Chexy gets a bath, his blue coloring shines through. Some have stated that the grulla coloring is the rarest of all horse body coat colors. Chexy seems to know this by the way he proudly prances around the show ring like he is "somethin' else." What a ham.
