Akhal teke

The Akhal-Teke is arguably the oldest...apart from the rest of the equine realm is the metallic sheen that their coat has.

Akhal-Teke -- "a horse breed from Turkmenistan, where they are a national emblem. They have a reputation for speed and endurance, intelligence, and a distinctive metallic sheen." This dark color doesn't show the sheen as much.

This is the breed "Akhal-Teke", out of Turkmenistan. It is a very old breed and known for its metallic sheen. The sheen is a result of the opaque core of the hair being narrower or even absent, allowing the light to shine through the hair - except it refracts it a little to give that shimmery golden look.They come in many colors. This one is called "Cremelo"
