Horses with Silver coat

Understanding the Silver coat

The Silver coat: A dilution of black pigment that notably lightens the mane and tail. On a black base, it often produces a chocolate-colored body with silver or flaxen hairs.

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.
