I've been seeing an awful lot of paint appreciation around lately. I believe there is more variance in chestnut/sorrel shades than most people seem to realize. Let's show everyone the beauty of chestnut/sorrel horses!
Here's mine, a dark chestnut: (excuse the non-muscle, this was only a month or so after I bought him)
loved the pics,, DisneyCowgirl1901 Teddy looks like my first pony Goldy,, he passed away when he was 31 ... I got him when he was 5.. Teddy's pics she did bring back alot of memories..
Because then they would actually be paying for just the horse and not an extra 2k for a black one
Just kidding, I have no idea. Probably someone who is very surface-oriented and wants a horse for mostly aesthetic purposes. Also, there are some urban legends about chestnuts, like the myth that chestnut mares are the hottest horses etc. It's great to see everyone's chestnut beauties on here, thanks!
I love my Chestnut baby. He is awesome with such a great personality. People are always telling me that he has the best face ever, with the most expressive eyes.
That urban legend about him being a hot horse, just isn't true for Timmy. He is a baby, only 4 and he behaves better than some of the Bays, Browns, Grays, and Blacks at my barn who are 2-3 times his age.
I would post pictures of my baby, but for some reason I can't upload the images.
I just love my chestnut sorrel whatever color you want to call him. Red is very RED in the winter and in the summer he is more of a liver chestnut, especially on his hindquarters. In the winter his coat is blazing red and gorgeous...of course I could be a tad bit partial!
Here are two pictures...the one with the alfalfa is taken a few weeks ago...the other back in August.
Good thread idea! My new mare is a quarter horse that I plan on showing in western pleasure. She is a beautiful, dark liver chestnut but I do not yet have any pics of her... sorry :-(...
