so you guessed it, she is a silver bay, but homozygous, that's why she doesn't have the black legs and she is so light she almost looks palomino 
I am verry happy too that she is Aa, most are AA; she is bred with my homozygous black lusitano stallion for a silver bay or silver dapple baroque foal.
Yes, most horses in the breed are silver carriers, and flaxen too, and look pretty similar wether they are flaxen chestnut ore silver bay; some years ago, people were not aware of the silver gene so were very surprised with the occasional bay cropout; silver dapples were rare, because agouti is very prominent, and anywayn, they were thought to be dark liver flaxen;
Now it changes and silver bays withe the black legs are registered bay with flaxen mane and tail.
