bayo coyote

(Sp. model spelled same [bájokojóte]; Spanish bayo [see above] plus coyote < Nahuatl coyotl 'coyote'; coyote-colored bay)

   A dun horse with a black dorsal stripe. Southwestern sources list this term as a synonym of bayo lobo, but Santamaría indicates that the terms are not synonymous in Mexico. According to the DM, bayo coyote is used more often for mules than for horses. It is a lighter color than bayo lobo and a horse so designated often has white spots on its head, flank, and belly. The bayo lobo horse, on the other hand, has dun and black hairs that blend to produce a darker shade of dun.

   Alternate form: bayo lobo.

   Also known as coyote dun, lobo dun.
