Horse (mottled dun) (4)

I believe the answer is:

roan

(Other definitions for roan that I've seen before include "Nora (anag) - horse" , "Horse - leather" , "Of horse, with coat sprinkled with white or grey hairs" , "Horse with a brownish coat sprinkled with grey" , "Bay spotted" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
