Great Grullas!

Grullo or grulla, pronounced “grew-ya”, also called blue dun, gray dun or mouse dun, is a color of horses in the dun family, characterized by tan-gray or mouse-colored hairs on the body, often with shoulder and dorsal stripes and black barring on the lower legs. A grulla horse is fairly rare, as these things go, and is often the result of mating a black stallion with a red or dun mare.

The tarpan (Equus ferus ferus) was a relative of the domestic horse that became extinct in the nineteenth century, and which appears to have had grulla coloration. The tarpan has been considered a true wild horse, an undomesticated relative or ancestor of the domestic horse. However, some authorities in the early twentieth century held the opinion that most equines called tarpans were actually domestic or feral horses, not a separate species.
Several breeds with the grulla color have been developed in efforts to recreate (“breed back”) the tarpan. These breeds include the Heck horse and Konik. One of the first experiments in this regard was published in 1906 by James Cossar Ewart, who obtained a “tarpan-like” horse by crossing a Shetland mare and a black Welsh pony.

When the version 5.5 Horse update came out on October 7, 2016 the new Grulla coats were hidden in new starters. The Grulla horse is one set of many exciting possible Non-Starter coats that can come from breeding “Starter Horses”.
You can have a chance at one of these exciting Non-Starter Grulla by breeding any horse with a starter horse or by breeding together two starter horses. These coats CAN be passed on.
And this month, the Chestnut Grulla is one of the horse coats needed for the Unique breedings to the Earth Element eye! Maybe you will be one of the lucky ones!
