Could you be refering to a "Roan".
Def: A horse having a bay (red roan), chestnut (strawberry roan), or black (blue roan) coat sprinkled with white hairs.
[C16: OF: Sp. roana, :Gothic, rauths (red)]

Roans are often in your cowboy westerns. A common mistake some people have is thicking a roan is a breed of horse rather than it's colour. eg. The sheriff rode into town on his black arab as Billy the Kid mounted his roan and headed for the hills.
