Black point expression
Bay only shows on black-based (EE or Ee) coats.
It restricts the black pigment to the mane, tail, legs and the rims of the ears.
As a minimal expression, the black pigment should start from the pasterns and hocks/knees (also called "wild bay"), and can as a maximal expression affect the entirety of the legs. On a maximal expression the transition between the black and the brown should be a soft gradient, not a hard line.
