The Mule Coats - Star Stable Online

The model was made by Evelina Foxberg, textures were made by me.

This tricolor spotting is something I've only ever seen in mules. From sooty black, to bay, to roaned spots, this confetti equine has it all.

While on first sight this might look like a standard dun horse, this mule is a buckskin. The prevalence of wild markings on mules can make it hard to distinguish between dun and buckskin, though dun expression tends to dull their coats a bit.
