Bay is just a colour that a horse can be, I have a bay thouroughbred but I also have a bay welsh-cob
They are traditionally bay, grey, chestnut, or black.

Andalusian horses can be found in various colors, including gray, bay, black, and chestnut. Gray is the most common color for this breed. Palominos and duns can also be seen in some Andalusian horses.
The Hanoverian can be any solid color, most typically being black, chestnut or bay.
you will get almost any colour because your horses colour is not determined by the colour of it' s parents. you can have two chestnut horses that breed to make a bay foal. unless the horse is bred to be a specific colour, like the Cleavland Bay breed. the foals colour all depends on its genetic material.
No. Bay horses are bay for life.
Bay horses can be any size, as bay refers to a coloring of horse, in which their body is brown, and they have black manes, tails, and points.
Yes, bay do horses have black manes or very very dark brown.
The same reason dogs look different than wolves. Over many, many years, we have selectively bred horses for specific purposes. Thouroughbreds were bred with long legs, bodies, and to have a huge lung capacity for racing, Quarter horses were selectively bred for quarter mile races and to work cattle, Draft horses (Shire, Belgian) were bred for pulling heavy loads (example: Budwiser horses)
The cream gene Cr. Bay horses that are homozygous for cream are perlinos as opposed to cremellos.
I pretty sure that bay is just a horse color not a breed.
You see so many bay horses because the bay color gene is dominant. In most cases it can over-ride black and it varieties and even grey and its varieties. When breeding a chestnut with a bay it's about 50-50 whether you will get chestnut or bay.
