I've heard that. I luckily have never had a problem with him being in the sun. He is turned out every day just like all the other horses. Luckily he dosesn't fade much in the sun. I have seen some that have gotton some bad burns. Often on their nose and around their eyes. I've heard of melanomas and ganulomas in greys as well.

He is a overo, OLWS test is pending. He also carries Sabino and possibly splash. I'm having him tested this coming spring. I do get tired of her bashing on the small time mid grade breeders.

I DO NOT condone the breeding of some of those she posts. Who are just atrocious and obviously the result of someone breeding whatever to whatever. But not all small breeders are like that. Its frustrating.

I also train for a local rescue. They come in, I put time on them, and then they find them good homes. But I also do this for myself. I was at the local tack store, and looking at some used saddles, a fellow customer there asked me what I did. So I glady talked about it. I said I often pick up horses through a few traders I know frequent auctions and pick up some nice horses that apparently have ben left on the wayside. Put time on them, and rehome them. She looked at me and in a disgusting tone, told me a was a horse trader, and just fodder for fugly. WTF is that about? Without even knowing me? Ridiculous. I think your post has inspired me! I may have to put up a post about this nonsense on my own blog. lol It boggles the mind.
