Cherry Chestnut would be a lighter chestnut then the red chestnut but they both basicly are the same.
Chestnut is a color
White
Palomino isn't a breed of horse, it is a colour. Answer 2: As stated above Palomino is a color, not a breed. The Palomino horse registries are color registries, not breed associations. You get Palomino coloring by breeding a horse with the cream gene to a chestnut and you should get a palomino. Any breed that carries both the cream and chestnut colorings can produce a palomino.

Well first off colt is a male and Filly is a female...foal is a baby horse. So if you breed a chestnut to a brown horse you would likely get the following chances. 58.34% bay/brown, 33.33% chestnut, and 8.33% black.
The black horse's genetics is either aaEe or aaEE. If the Black horse is aaEE the foal cannot be chestnut. If the black horse is aaEe there is a 50% chance of the foal being chestnut. The possible colors for any non chestnut foal will be based on the genetics of the chestnut horse at the Agouti site. if the chestnut horse is aa any non chestnut foal will be black if the chestnut horse is Aa there is a 50% chance of a bay foal and a 50% chance of a black foal. if the chestnut horse is AA any non-chestnut foal will be bay.
It depends on the horse's genetics. Chestnut is recessive to black, therefore a chestnut horse always carries two chestnut genes but a black horse could be carrying two black genes OR a black and a chestnut, but the black is dominant therefore the horse has a black coat. Think of it as the black coat always sits 'on top' of the chestnut coat so if a horse has a black gene it will always show up but chestnut will only show up if there are no black genes at all. If you breed a homozygous dominant (two black genes) black horse to a chestnut, the foal will always be heterozygous dominant black. (One black gene and one chestnut gene) If you breed a heterozygous dominant (one black one chestnut) black horse to a chestnut, the foal has a 50% chance of being heterozygous dominant black and a 50% chance of being homozygous recessive chestnut. (two red genes) If you have no idea what your black horse's color genes are, think of it as having a 75% chance of a black foal, 25% chance of a chestnut foal.
Well, the color Chestnut is called Chestnut because it looks like Chestnut wood.
Chestnut is a color and doesn't mean anything really in regards to what a horse does or doesn't do. A chestnut colored horse can do anything a horse of any other color can do.
Coat color is always an acquired trait in horses. For example, if you breed a black horse and a chestnut horse, you can get a black, bay, or chestnut foal, but never a palomino, buckskin, grullo, roan, or any other color.
Chestnut is not a breed. It is only a colour designation.
It is a reddish-brown color.
Chestnut is a color, and color ahs nothing to do with age. So a chestnut horse can be any age.
