Equine colouring (4)
I believe the answer is:
roan
(Other definitions for roan that I've seen before include "Horse with main colour interspersed with hairs of another" , "Of horse, with coat sprinkled with white or grey hairs" , "Horse with reddish-brown coat" , "Type of 17's coat colouring" , "Bay horse with white/grey hairs in its coat" .)
