Yesterday we shared news of recent findings that there are actually two genetic variants responsible for graying in horses. The VGL is now offering a new test that determines which gray variant a horse carries: G2 (associated with slow graying) or G3 (associated with fast graying and increased risk for melanoma).
If you only want to know whether your horse will gray but do not need to know which gray variant (or how many) the horse has, we also offer a Gray Presence/Absence test.
To read more about these two options, visit our website at https://vgl.ucdavis.edu/test/gray_copy_number and https://vgl.ucdavis.edu/test/gray_presence_absence
