Not necessarily a breed...
Message:

Various colors, including grey, can be found among most breeds although some breed associations restrict the colors of the horses registered with them. Anyway, a solid grey horse with no dapples is indeed rare. Even a gray horse with dapples isn't as common as you'd think. They usually turn white (still called grey as Draupne said) with tiny spots covering their bodies (referred to as "flea-bitten") as they age. Roans tend to look grey but are actually a mix of gray, black and white hairs across the body. There's a whole color/gene theory out there that I'm new to and so am no authority, but I've been in the horse world enough to know a bit.

If you want breakfast in bed, sleep in the kitchen.
