my mother in law is full blood Portuguese who's first language is Portuguese and she says Spanish is very similar (close enough to translate most words), I can ask her in the morning if she knows for sure what it means. Unfortunately I failed Spanish in high school with a 28% so I'm no help :))

Just be aware it is occasionally seen as a racist term in English. But as MackZ said it just means mixed. What that means for his color is who knows?

Update

I found in some facebook page one of those horse coat colors tables. It is another name for bay, a dark shade of bay.

"Castaño, mulato o zaino: es el color marrón oscuro, a veces casi negro; las crines y cola suelen ser pardas o negras." --> "it is a dark brown color, sometimes almost black; mane and tail are usually brown or black."

@Ammit yes, thank you for letting me know! By now it is also seen as a racist term in Brazil.
@KhaosAcres thank you! I live in Brazil so I do know what the term means; I just could only imagine its meaning in the Spanish way to name horse colors.
@MackZ yes maybe they were thinking about an intermediate color... methinks?
@bluchrystrals you hit the nail on the head!
