This should help

Answer 2

Flaxen is a modifier that affects the mane and tail, causing it to become a white to cream color. Unfortunately exactly how Flaxen works is not know at this time. There is theory that Flaxen is recessive and only affects red pigment. If true, this gene could be passed along for generations on red or black based horses before showing itself physically. Flaxen doesn't always effect the mane and tail equally. It is possible for either the mane or tail to be lightened while the other is not.

Because it is not understood exactly how Flaxen is controlled, it is unknown how many breeds have the gene. The Tennessee Walking Horse, Thoroughbred, American Quarter Horse, American Shetland Pony and Miniature Horse are just a few that are known to have Flaxen. Some breeds are exclusively Flaxen Chestnut, the Haflinger and American Belgian are two.

Answer 3

Flaxen means light colored, either blonde or white. It is usually a sorrel (light reddish) colored horse that has a "flaxen" mane and tail, so the mane and tail are blonde. It's really pretty and makes a plain brown horse more showy.

Here's an example of a horse with flaxen mane and tail:
