I’m not sure what colour my new horse is 😊

Recently bought a beautiful Gypsy Cob. From photos and in her passport she’s described as Bay. However, her coat is actually a little creamy (don’t know if that’s the best way to describe it?) in colour and she has a black (very defined) dorsal stripe, black legs, mane and tail with cream feathers behind her knees (primitive markings). What are peoples thoughts?

What a super sort OP, deffo Dun. Hope you have an amazing time with her.

Even though everyone has clearly identified your horse, I think we need more pictures just to be sure!

Another vote for dun. It's curious that in the UK we don't usually distinguish between buckskin and dun, whereas they do in the US. But buckskin is bay plus a dilution gene, whereas the dun gene is a separate gene, even though the colours look very similar.
