Bought a Brindle Horse and got one with while mane, tan coat, and no brindle. It says Brindle Horse in the inventory. I saw someone with a truely brindle horse and black mane. How do I get a truely brindle horse?

Now that I think about it, the sabino horse is actually brindle. They may have mixed up the names.
Brindle: One of the rarest colors in horses, possibly linked to chimerism. Characteristics are any color with "zebra-like" stripes, but most common is a brown horse with faint yellowish markings.
The brindling pattern found in horses could be described as vertical stripes that are found along the neck, back, hindquarters, and upper legs. The horse's head is usually a solid color and is not affected by the striping. The brindling pattern has no effect on dark points on horses. Some brindle-colored horses are more eye-catching than others.
With this rare coat pattern there is a base coat that covers the entire body of the horse. This base coat color can be any color. Recorded examples have been bay, chestnut, palomino, and dun. Earliest documented cases were said to have red dun or grulla as a base coat. Over top of the base color is either a lighter or darker color giving the appearance of stripes.
Yes his complaint is that his "brindle" horse has no brindle. The "sabino" horse has brindle.
The "brindle" horse is on the left. Sabino is on the right.
As you can see, the brindle horse has roan, not brindle stripes. The sabino one has brindle. I don't think either of them can really be called sabino, so I guess it may not be a simple case of switched names as I suspected.
The Sabino Horse in-game is the brown horse with a black mane, and black markings on the body, almost like stripes. It looks like a real-life brindle horse to me, so I suspect whoever programmed in the basic mounts got these two mixed up.

The game's 'sabino' horse has dog-brindle (not really horse-brindle) markings.
The 'appaloosa' horse is truly an overo paint.
When will we get the (sabino) horse in THIS video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcvxJEmNXCw ?????!??
Who are you disagreeing with? That's exactly what has been said.
What if your daggers were called 'sporks'? You could see that it's obviously a knife, but you'd have the +5 spork of lifestealing (and wear your kilt and beanie.)
I'm horserider since I was 7, have no idea how they could name BRINDLE something that actually is palomino. (Also can be called roan as I see it has something that was supposed to be roan pattern. It's almost invisible though.) As someone said earlier brindle is pattern, not just color. It's about the stripes that can be in dark and bright color, but they have to be visible to call it brindle. The sabino horse in game is brindle sabino in the fact. However the markings on the legs should be higher, even stretch to the horse's belly.
Please someone say it's some terrible mistake and they gonna fix it.
