Grullo...How To Pronounce....

Grullo is one of those words that start out in another language (Spanish) and end up with another way of sounding.

Grullo (or Grulla) is the mouse colored horses that you see with the dark manes and tails.

The above site has LOTS of info about them. I keep hearing people here in the PNW calling them Grew-lohs. In Spanish, the double "l" is pronounced as our "y", so correctly, it's Grew-yah. The 'o' at the end is masculine, the 'a' is feminine although now most people use the 'a' ending.
