Silver Bay :
Silver bay is a bay horse carrying
silver.
The
body colour may lighten somewhat (that is the effect on the black pigment
remaining in the body coat), but the black points will lighten a lot…
A lot of foals
have light legs and or under bodies as a form of camouflage, and silver bays
also have light legs.
Because of
the lighter legs, and light main and tail, many Silver Bay are mistakenly identified as Chestnut.
If you look closely at silver bays, they do have
slightly darker legs. The colour of the lower
leg is a very important part of identifying horse colour.
