What is the breed of horse that is always chesnut?

Answer 1

There are two breeds of horses that are always chestnut; the Suffolk Punch and the Haflinger. The Suffolk Horse (as it is also referred to) is an English breed of drought horse developed in the early 16th century. Suffolk Punches generally stand 16.1 to 17.2 hands tall and weigh 1,980 to 2,200 pounds. They are always chestnut in color, and white markings are rare and generally limited to small areas on the face and lower legs.

The Haflinger, also known as the Avelignese, is a breed of horse developed in Austria and northern Italy during the late 19th century. Haflinger horses are relatively small, are always chestnut in color, have distinctive gaits described as energetic but smooth, and are well-muscled yet elegant. They have many uses, including light draft, harness work, and various under-saddle disciplines such as endurance riding, dressage, equestrian vaulting, and therapeutic riding. They are also still used by the Austrian and German armies for work in rough terrain.

Haflingers come in shades ranging from a light gold to a rich golden chestnut or liver hue. The mane and tail are white or flaxen. It's height is between 13.2 and 15 hands (54 and 60 inches).
