According to the book _Equine Genetics and Selection Criteria_ in the TB registry (where they keep pretty good track), grey horses live, on average, two years less than non-greys. Probably because of the skin cancer thing, but not necessarily. Personally, I consider "grey" to be a genetic defect, right up there with a lot of the others that I select away from. :)
