Understanding the Flaxen coat

The Flaxen coat: Light-colored mane and tail on a chestnut coat.

Horse coat colors depend on genetics, but also on visible traits such as mane color, lower legs, skin tone, and the presence of markings or patterns. The same coat color can therefore vary from one individual to another.
