My mare is a chestnut with a large star and three white leg markings ( 2x white to fetlock and one white to cannon)
she has white hairs on, mainly, her rump (unnoticable until you get really close ie grooming).

does this mean she will grey out as she ages? shes 8 now.

No, it's just a few grey hairs so don't worry! IME chestnuts that go grey do so quickly so by now she'd be grey, or at least pale pink :p

don't think so might just be some localised roaning.

seen that on bays and chestnuts kinda like dapples in some horses i've been told.
