Thanks,

I'm pretty sure that's how you're supposed to say it...in my mind I always say "grool-a" but I know that's not right.

"grew - la"

Actually, it is grew-ya

It's hispanic, and a double "L", as in "lla", is a "ya" sound. Grulla or Grullo, depending on your preference.

wow i've never really knew how to say it either.

AQHA told me it is Grew-Yo

is the actual pronunciation of it. Most people call it Grew-Ya

Yo male
Ya female

Yeah, Grew-ya, or Grew-yo is how you're actually supposed to say it, but around here people always pronounce the ll's, grew-la, grew-lo, so I usually say it like that too, because if you say it without the ll's people look at you like you're an idiot, lol.

Thanks everyone! So I am riding a grullo (GREW-YO) tonight, since it is a gelding. He is a dark one, and a real steady eddy trail horse

... so I am excited.

Thanks for the help!!
