He's actually Smoky Brown (brown with one cream gene). He also has tiger eye.

Normal browns have a red belly and face, while brown horses with one cream gene (Smoky Browns) have a yellow belly and face. You can look on this thread for more information.

Seal Brown family is include and can modify Brown Buckskin (Smoky Black), so he have the Seal Brown gene.

Just FYI for anybody over-reading this.

Color names are really at the discretion of the user.
I may call a coat a blue roan, another may call it black roan.

The genes however are quite straightforward. This foal is a brown with cream coat.

Usually it's called smoky brown, that's basically what much of the community refers to it on HWO.
I've seen 'seal brown' used for when it's an agouti brown coat instead of just saying 'brown'. And then I've also (in real life) heard people use the phrase 'seal brown' for those bay's (and genetically bay, red coat, black points) that are so dark as to look black.

So none of the above posts are incorrect at the base level. And to each, their own name.

Thank you for saying the different colors and names this also helped me understand something about some of my lines

The Seal Brown Gene or Brown Gene or the Agouti Gene (At and not A) are all names for the basic coat colour that is not modified/altered by a dilution gene.

The horse has the Seal Brown gene but is not just a Seal brown. He is a Smocky Brown (or Smocky Seal Brown, if you want). Identifying this horse as a Seal Brown is wrong and can easily mislead players who are breeding for colour. It is wrong due to the fact that the title Seal Brown is missing a whole gene.

If a player wanted to use the horse as a stud to breed a brown horse with 1x cream gene (Smocky Brown or Seal brown) and they used a Brown Cream (2 copies of the cream gene on Seal/- brown) which should give them a 100% chance of getting their desired colour (if of course at least 1 of the horses was an E/E and an At/At - homozygous dominant for both the Extension gene and the agouti gene-), how would anyone explain to them the fact that they know only have a 50% chance to get their desired coat colour because there is also a 50% chance of the foals being a double cream?
