Horses exhibit a diverse array of coat colors and distinctive markings. A specialized vocabulary has evolved to describe them. Color is one of the first things that is noticed about a horse. Often, a horse is first described by its coat color rather than by breed or by sex. While most horses remain the same color throughout life, a few, over the course of several years, will develop a different coat color from that with which they were born. This book studies equine coat colors including chestnut coat, gray horse, dun gene, grullo, and sooty gene.
