Best Answer

Sorrel and Chestnut are genetically the exact same color. It is nothing more than a difference of terminology.

1. In most English riding circles Sorrel refers to a chestnut horse with a flaxen (blonde) mane and tail. While chestnut is a solidly chestnut body, mane and tail.

2. Some western stock breed registries use sorrel to mean a darker shade of chestnut with matching mane and tail. And chestnut for lighter shades, with or without a flaxen mane and tail.

Chestnuts are a deep red orange sort of colour. Sorrels are more like roans with flecks in them and that look a bit less vibrant.

It is really your opinion, but I have heard that green and blue good, and bright plaids are also attractive.

Is coat colour a quantitative trait?

With enough genetic information a specific coat color could be quantified, but the trait is qualitative in as much as it can be described but not truly measured. For example. Horse aaEE is black as is horse aaEe however horse aaEe is blue black and horse aaEE is black. While another horse aaEE is blue black and Another aaEe horse is black. Any horse ee is chestnut...but there is liver chestnut, red chestnut, orange chestnut sorrel, et cetera. A quantitative analysis may yield the results of gene frequency in a population or the specific number of individuals in a breed that are a specific color...but the full spectrum of color variation will not be addressed by a quantitative approach.


What is a a reddish horse called?

A reddish horse is called chestnut. The horse has no black markings, and the mane and tail are either the same color or lighter than the coat. There are a few different variations of chestnut, too. Liver is very dark red (close to brown), Sorrel (most common) is coppery and bright, and Blond (rarely used) is a very light and pale red or tan coat.


What color foal do you get when you breed a chestnut horse and a palomino horse?

You could get either a palomino or a chestnut. Since a palomino is a diluted chestnut, and a chestnut has no dilution genes, it will balance out the foal's genes so that it could be either color! Good Luck!

What color will you get if you breed a black horse to a gray?

If you breed a black horse and a gray horse, you can get quite a variety of colors. If the gray horse has a black base (was born black), then the offspring will either be black or black-based gray. If the gray horse is chestnut-based or bay-based, however, you can get black, chestnut, bay, black-based gray, chestnut-based gray, or bay-based gray. It's most likely that the gray horse is black-based, though genetic testing would probably be required to find out for sure.

What color is a pink horse?

There is no such thing as a 'pink' horse. Some horses may look pink if they have enough white hairs mixed in with red ( chestnut/ sorrel) hairs. This is a red roan ( also sometimes called a strawberry roan or chestnut/ sorrel roan.)If a horse looks 100% truly pink it has likely been dyed that color.
