Rare varieties of suits

Horses can show their admirers several dozen coat color options. Since ancient times, the color of a horse has served only a protective function.

• redhead;
• bay;
• gray.

Now it is worth giving a description of the most popular and beautiful colors of rare horse breeds:

• Redhead with darkening. The mane or tail of red individuals may be much darker or lighter. The eyes of such animals are brown. Temperament and character does not depend on color, but is determined by the characteristics of the breed and the nervous system.
• Crow-roan. In the black color of the horse, with the exception of the head and legs, there are inclusions of white hair, which forms an unusual color. When viewed from a distance, a horse may appear gray or blue. Unlike their congeners, black-roan specimens have a black tail and mane, as well as the lower limbs of the legs. The difference between this suit can be considered the regrowth of mixed hair on the damaged areas of the skin.
