Traits
Brindle creates broken vertical parallel stripes/barring on the coat.
Brindle may be darker or lighter than the base coat color.
Brindle may be totally black on Black-based (E_ aa) coats. On Bay-based (E_ A_) coats, Brindle is also allowed to be black or the same color as the legs.
Brindle stripes should be thin (no wider than the horse's pupil), mostly straight, and parallel, but may "clump together" to create darker patches.
Brindle does NOT create zebra/tiger stripes, only thin vertical barring on the coat.
Brindle stripes are parallel, and should not create 'V' or 'X' shapes.
