Seal brown is a
hair coat color of
horses characterized by a near-black body color; with black
points, the mane, tail and legs; but also reddish or tan areas around the eyes, muzzle, behind the elbow and in front of the
stifle. The term is not to be confused with "brown", which is used by some
breed registries to refer to either a seal brown horse or to a
dark bay without the additional characteristics of seal brown genetics.
