Bay Dun

This colour is caused by the Dun and bay genes acting on a Black horse.
Just as bay comes in many shades, so does Bay Dun. 

The body coat of a Bay Dun will be a shade, ranging from dark to light, of tan or yellow. Horses this colour usually have a face "mask" that is a shade darker than their body colour. 

All Bay Duns, regardless of shade, will have dark legs although on some the black may be faded to a chocolate colour including at the coronary band. The mane and tail will also be black but just like on a Black or Bay it is subject to sunburn and fading from the weather.
The only exception to this rule is if the horse also carries other genes which dilute or modify the legs, mane and tail such as silver.
