The coat colour in the horse being mainly a protective trait is also a factor which contributes to the maintenance of the thermal equilibrium in the body. A relationship between the colour and performance in the horse is possible since the genes producing the colour may be linked with genes which affect the horse’s performance or can be pleiotropic simultaneously influencing both kinds of traits. Current studies performed on racehorses have not shown a considerable relationship between the loci controlling the grey colour as well as eumelanogenesis in bay and black horses and the racing records. Instead, a few loci are known which control certain colours and involve pathologic signs in the organism or are lethal in homozygotes.

Barwa włosów u koni odgrywająca głównie rolę ochronną jest też czynnikiem wspomagającym utrzymanie równowagi cieplnej organizmu. Związek rodzaju maści z dzielnością konia jest możliwy, gdyż geny powodujące powstanie maści mogą być sprzężone z genami wpływającymi na dzielność konia, a także oddziaływać równocześnie na oba rodzaje cech. Najnowsze badania przeprowadzone na koniach wyścigowych nie wykazały istotnego związku genów maści siwej oraz wytwarzania eumelaniny u koni gniadych i karych z wynikami wyścigów. Znanych jest natomiast kilka loci kontrolujących pojawienie się określonych maści, które równocześnie powodują patologiczne zmiany ustrojowe, a u homozygot są letalne.
