Best Answer

The chestnut is the callus like growth on the insides of the legs. On the front legs they tend to be above the knees on the inner portion of the leg. On the hind legs they are below the hock, again on the inner portion of the leg.

It should be noted that some breeds do not have chestnuts at all, and some horses have very small chestnuts that can be hard to see.

Another thing to keep in mind is that chestnut is also a horse color.
