My experience is different, but it might be more of a cultural thing? Nobody I know who knows horses calls greys anything but greys. I wouldn't shame anyone for calling a thing the wrong thing, but they're grey unless they're entirely pink-skinned. You can tell by looking at the nose and hooves. Dominant white is genetic, so is Sabino and different Paint types, and Cremello is a different gene again. It's important to classify correctly if you're involved in breeding horses because unfortunately there's also Lethal White which is a fatal genetic combination.

Grey and white horses are cool to watch mature because they start coloured with sometimes only a bit of white hair around their nose and get progressively lighter with age.

My first horse was a weirdo. I called her grey because it was easier but she was a leopard appaloosa. All white hair but if you ran a hose over her you could see her spots. Only one person I know was able to pick her out without seeing her wet, and he breeds for colour.

I've always heard them called greys as well and I'm only tangentially acquainted with horses.

Same. Grey not white. I know just enough about horses to know this and I'd expect someone with a vested interest or keen hobby to know it and use the correct terminology.

I came here to say some of this. It's an important distinction you only know if you'rve been around horses. I had it gently pointed out to me when I started helping out at our local stables. And I've only ever heard horse people use greys.

Someone mocking a beginner for it is ridiculous though.

Yeah, I think there's probably a cultural/ geographical difference here.

A horse rescue I used to volunteer at rescued a few foals once and one was a cute chestnut but something about her (pale eyelashes I think? It’s been a while) screamed to me that she’d go grey. Nobody believed me but I was vindicated in the end. :)
