The body coloring of a bay horse is brown or reddish
with a black mane and tail, black on the legs and
ears, with the occasional white socks or stocking
and white markings on the face. Bay horses will
often have black points, which are the muzzle, the
tips of the ears, mane, tail, and lower part of
the legs. There are different kinds of bay, described
as bright bay, dark bay, light bay, mahogany bay,
and blood bay. These colors are determined by the
amount of lighter brown or darker brown hairs in
the coat.
