Horses change color through genetics mostly, and sometime environmental factors. Take the 'color' grey for example, Grey is actually just a modifier, not an actual color in and of itself. The foal may be born dark, but over time the genetic code for grey will act on the color the foal was born with and slowly lighten the coat to grey. As for environmental causes the most common would be sun bleaching. If a darker colored horse is out in the sun for long periods of time the sun will cause the hair color to 'wash out' and become more of a burnt orange or strange brown color.
