Greys do have a weird thing going like that, even a chestnut will often get lots of black hairs before going grey. They aren't just red with white hairs. I had a pally going grey mare, that I actually bought thinking she was a buckskin. Dam when she went grey!!
The new isolation of the grey gene talks about how it works and why there possibly is black pigment coming in before they grey out. Techical stuff!!

The horse, mature now is a buckskin.
I dont understand it, but i saw the horse as a foal & while he grew up, lol.

Well I guess he's either a pally with smutty/sooty, or really was a bucky just took a while before the black points were noticeable!
