What does undercoat mean?
A layer of fur or hair that is next to the skin of an animal, or a coat of paint applied to a surface before a final coat. In horse grooming, the undercoat is the soft, fine hair that lies beneath the longer guard hairs.
Example
"The horse's undercoat was thick and fluffy, requiring regular brushing to prevent matting."
