Coloureds
A piebald horse is one which is white and black. A skewbald is white and any colour other than black. The coat has large irregular patches of each colour and has black skin under the coloured area and white or pink skin under the white coat. The lack of pigmentation may also show in the eye which may be blue (known as wall eye). Horses which have patches of three colours are referred to as coloured.
