Black horses are less common than bay (seessss1) or chestnut (see ssss1). This color is the preferred color in Friesians. Some breeds where black color is frequently encountered include: the Percheron, Shire, Russian Saddle Horse, Russian Trotter, Kabardin, Vladimir Heavy Draft, Karachai, and the Kladruber. At the same time, it is rare in other breeds—Arabians, for example.
BAY
Bay horses have red or brown color of the trunk, and parts of the head, legs, mane, and tail are black (Photosssss1ssss1). The tips of the ears and outer rims are also black. The skin and hooves are pigmented, eyes hazel, and eyelashes dark brown. The separation of the shades of bay is sometimes difficult and very subjective.
A light bay horse has light brown body hair. It is encountered rarely, and may be difficult to visually distinguish from buckskin (see ssss1). Dapples are observed in such horses more frequently than in the usual bay.
