Bay A base color coat that ranges from light to dark, reddish brown hues, and distinguished by black mane and tail, legs, ears, knees, hocks, or any combination of these points.

Sorrel These horses range in color from a light, golden base color, often with flaxen or light blonde manes and tails, to a darker golden red, also often with light manes and tails.

Palomino These horses vary in shade from a true golden with white mane and tail to a light tan coat with off white mane and tail.

Champagne The champagne group of colors consists of pale colors with underlying pink or light brown skin and amber eyes. Body colors range from chocolate brown to variances of yellow with manes and tails that vary broadly in color and intensity.

Black The entire coat must be black with the exception of small white markings.

Roan The basic coat color of the roan horse is silvered by a mixture of white hairs, intermingled from birth with the darker hairs of the base color.

Grey A mixture of white and dark hairs growing out of a dark skin combine to mark the coat of a grey TWH.

Buckskin A diluted bay coat mixture of red and black hairs from a bay coat results in several shades of the buckskin horse with a black mane and tail. The most common color for the buckskin is a tan.

Dun The dun body coat is also a dilution of the bright red bay to a clear yellow with dark points. Frequently a dark dorsal stripe and zebra stripes on the shoulders and legs are apparent.

Chestnut Copper-colored chestnuts vary in shade from a light golden red to a dark reddish brown, sometimes identified as a liver chestnut. Quite often, the mane and tail will be the same color as the body, but occasionally, a chestnut will have a flaxen mane and tail, and will often show white face and leg markings.

Cremello The base color of the body is creamy nearly white with a yellow tinge. The mane and tail are usually white. Perlino is a dilution of the bay. The same creamy off white base color displays darker mane and tail and points.

Overo White spotting of the overo horse usually comes up from the belly and rarely across the back. The white areas are usually irregular with uneven edges. The eyes of an overo with extensively white facial markings are frequently blue or white. Overo spotting can occur on any color base background.

Sabino Its base coat color is mixed with white hairs, similar to roaning, but often with overo markings: high stockings, white face, white spots.

Tobiano A tobiano is basically solid-colored, spotted, and with four white legs. The face is marked similarly to that of a solid horse with a dark head and white face markings such as a star or strip. The white spots are regular and rounded, with even borders, and cross over the back.
