Horse Colors

Gray – Horses with a dark coat and white to gray hair. They can often appear as white horses but if their points are dark they are considered grays.

Grullo – This is from a dun gene on a black horse. A dark dorsal strip, dark points, and dark legs. They can also have stripes on the legs, forward, back, etc.

Pearl – A horse with a red base coat lightened to an almost apricot color, the mane and tail will also be light.

Amber Champagne  - Gold coat with chocolate points. Can be confused with buckskin or bay dun. The mane and tail have light edges. This gene dilutes the color of a bay horse.

Brindle – A faint, small tiger striping pattern on a horse. This is quite rare.

Liver Chestnut – Very dark chestnut (reddish-brown) color.

Sorrel – A light chestnut (reddish-brown) color. The mane and tail will be the same color or lighter.
