There is an extremely small chance for brindle to show up when breeding horses, even with brindle parents. Sometimes a brindle foal will spontaneously show up as well, but this is also extremely rare.

Foundation Herd Helpers are the easiest way to get brindles because they're guaranteed. Ammit does periodically gift them out; you can also randomly roll one on your daily HH dip, so it's a bit like winning the lottery.
