A look at horses with aging markings around the world and on a variety of different breeds.
Like people, some horses will begin to grey in some spots as they grow old. This is not likely related to any type of white patterns and it seems to affect animals of all types.

This usually occurs on around the eyes and on the forehead, sometimes causing bleeding or roaning of white face markings.
