Your horse is what is referred to in this area as a 'wild bay' I do not no what modifier is at work decreasing the extent of the black points but it is for sure not silver. Pretty little solid bay (one of my absolute favorite colours, especially for a driving horse)

He looks a lot like my wild bay gelding:



Its not a modifier, just one of the forms of bay, I know of: regular bay, black bay (seal brown) and wild bay (the points are extra restricted, and they seem to have more frosting in their manes and tails)

I was going to put up a few pics of my silver bay pintos, but minimor did a great job... Gosh, I still LOVE Reva!!

I didn't really know what a "wild bay" was - so I just did a google search on it. Learned what it is physically described as and also saw some pics of the "pattern" of wild bay.

Chanda, I still believe there has to be some modifier at work that limits the effect of the agouti gene in these wild bays. Most of the time when there is a variation to something like this it seems that there is something more in the mix whether they have identified it yet or not. Either way, your wild bay makes the OPs horse's colour pretty clear.

I was reading up on Wild Bay, and they did say that Pangare` often goes hand-in-hand with Wild Bay. Pangare` makes the mealy muzzle and light colored soft areas (flanks, armpits, under the tail, etc). So, you are right, there is often more to it, then just the "wild" form of bay.

Here are our silver bays. We love them.

I have a feeling some of these silver "bays" may be silver browns....

Here's my silver bay, Missy. She's a 4 yr old AMHR mare.

She won 2 supreme ribbons at our club shows this past show season.

Here's what she looked like after her initial clipping at the beginning of the season:
