Sign for the Bay Horse, Market Weighton
Bay is a reference to the colour of the horse. Bay varies considerably in shade from dull red approaching brown, to a yellowing colour approaching chestnut, but can be distinguished from the chestnut by the fact that the bay has a black mane and tail and almost invariably has black on the limbs.
