I body clipped my liver chestnut gelding a few years ago and he turned out grills in color beneath his red coat. It was really interesting to me and I did not expect him to be that color underneath. ???

Don’t feel bad because people are telling you it’s normal, OP. It’s still really cool, and not something I’ve seen either. I’ve seen similar, but this is cool, steel grey, not icky-sounding mousy grey.[/QUOTE]
Haha, thank you so much. I was starting to feel kind of dumb. I’ve seen similar too… but this picture almost looks photoshopped to me (even though I took it)! She’s almost silver! It’s all so interesting 
I can contribute nothing knowledgeable to this conversation because I haven’t been around many clipped horses. Just want to say that that horse has one of the sweetest expressions I have ever seen on a horse’s face. 
(And I have been around a good number of sweet senior bays! Including one who in wintertime turns into a seal brown.)
Oh yes! I had a bright bay Morgan mare that turned this color, and it shocked the hell out of me the first time I saw it, lol. Now it doesn’t phase me. But that first clip? I about died!
It is shocking the first time you see it. One of the barn owners when I was a young rider had a blood bay gelding that looked like black beauty when he was clipped.
