Have at it guys

Looks like a brindle Arab,but I'm guessing that's wrong.

No, you're right

. It's an Egypptian Arab. You can see the dished face if you look close.

I didn't know there was a chimera arab out there!

In these horses, a straight or slightly convex profile is desired (face). This breed can trace its lineage back to ancient times.

Isn't Chimera when the horse is totally grey and has a bay face? I'm not to good with color genetics...

Chimeras are when faternal twins fuse together. So it's 2 sets of DNA in 1 horse. It's usually when the horse results in 2 different colors like this:

It causes random patches of colors to appear.
Brindle, however is sometimes caused by a rare occuraence of Chimerism.

The Grey with a Bay face makes me think more of a "Bloody Shoulder Mark" that is on the face.
Typical Bloody Shoulder:

Nez Perce horse (some are gaited)

No, but that's a really good guess.
Some of these horses are indeed gaited.This breed was either extinct or very nearly so, and brought back. One of their original uses was for hunting.

Nokota?

Nokota?

No, but another good guess. This breed is from Siberia.
