Is it common for a horse to be all black?

No, for a horse to be truly black it is very uncommon. To be considered fully black the coat has to be black. The eyes are usually brown. There are no sun spots or white spots on their skin. Their coats must be wholly black to be considered a true black horse.

What color horse will you get if you breed a black horse with a chestnut horse?

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.
