∙ 14y agoNo, it dosen't. A dapple is the color of a horse, like a Dapple Grey for example. Dapples are like darker circles. For example, a Dapple Grey would have a main gray body, but with darker flecks of gray.

∙ 12y agoThe color "silver dapple" or "silver black" is caused by the silver gene. This gene only acts on bay- or black-based horses, and does not affect chestnut pigment. It lightens the mane and tail, and often causes faint dapples.
A similar gene that acts on chestnuts is the flaxen gene, which does essentially the same thing.
I hope I've answered your question!
