Horses come in many different colours some of these colours include bay (brown body with black points), chestnut (light orange to a coppery orange), piebald (back and white), grey (anything from  white to nearly black) and skewbald (brown and white). Horses are never called black or white they are called bay if white and dark bay if black. These are just general names but you can have many different varieties of colours such as dappled grey (grey with darker rosebuds), bright bay (a reddish brown with black points), and flea-bitten grey (grey with tiny brown or black speckles) es)
