What is the breed of horse that is always chesnut?

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).

What does the name of the horse breed mustang mean?

Mustangs are not mean horses.

A Mustang is a herd animal..they love interacting with other horses.

Mustangs only seem "mean" because they are used to dealing with herd dominance

when they must fight to decide who the leader is.

which in any breed of horse...they will do if multiple animals are put together.

it decides who will breed...who will eat first...who will lead...and so on.

If you are thinking that your mustang horse is mean to you..if you own one...that means he/she does not trust you in your "herd" and your horse is showing dominace over you. In order to gain a mustangs trust you must first let the animal know that you are not going to harm it. Horses are prey animals so the gentleing process may take awhile. Horses are also Fight or Flight animals...they act upon instinct. if you put them in any situation where they become scared or skittish they might attack you.

I own a mustang that i adopted from the blm.

after gaining his trust...i have learned that mustang horses

will have a stronger bond with one person than many people. most domestic horses

will let anyone approach them and pet them/ride them etc.

i have ever owned. not to mention he is a looker!

Are rabbits scared of the dark?

I have had many rabbits, I have to say my lovely little Fluffy who we have at the moment is the nicest of all!! And because we love them so much, of course we fret over them. You will be thrilled to know rabbits are noctornal and actually like the dark most of all!! :) They are also most active at night, even though they are in their hutch at night, you may hear them scratching the cage and come out in the morning to see Fluffy has shredded ALL the new newspaper in his hutch again!! So in answer to your question, no rabbits are not scared of the dark. :)

Is Russian Warmblood an actual breed in horses?

Yes and no. A warmblood is as a general rule a description of any horse that is neither a hotblood (Arabian, Thoroughbred, or Akhal-Teke) or a coldblood (Draft). The majority of horses fall under the 'warmblood' heading. That being said however, many European sport horses are called Warmbloods, this would include the Hanoverian, Holstein, Oldenburg, Dutch Warmblood and many others.

Why should you clip a horse?

You should clip any horse in the winter that is doing enough work to sweat a lot, because with their winter coats they take longer to cool out and get colder with their heavy coats preventing the sweat from evaporating. Clipped horses should always be blanketed at least at night and it is an act of kindness to leave the legs and long whiskers on the chin unclipped.

Can you breed a small mare to a larger stallion?

I've looked into this question. Depends on the size difference and the willingness of the mare, but if she is winking, etc., many times the mare will lie down or crouch to allow the smaller stallion to mate. As for the foal size and reaching to nurse, there was a study done in England in which shetland fertilized eggs were placed into draft horse mares, and the other way around. Unique to horses, the mare's uterus has hormones which control the size AT BIRTH of the foal. So a shetland mare's foaling of the draft horse baby (which had been implanted) was not impossible because her uterus kept the baby small (and he later made up the difference by growth spurts to catch up to his true size). Similarly, the draft mare's foal was larger than usual for a shetland foal. So, if you have a 14-15 hand mare, it is theoretically possible that the foal will be able to reach. Nature is against it working, both at conception and after birth but it has been known to happen.

Why aren't pure white horses rare?

White horses but can often be mislabeled, here is the run down.

Albino: This does not exist in equines, though some people will argue otherwise, albinism has never been documented in horses.

Grey: This is a color modifying gene that turns a horse 'white' with age, though this is not truly a white horse. A grey horses will have dark skin under it's coat.

Maximum white sabino: Technically yes this horse is white, usually has pink skin and might have blue eyes, but it's really a pinto with no visible color on it's coat.

White Spotting/ White Mutation/ 'Dominant white': Truly white horses caused by a genetic mutation, there are multiple forms of this mutation found in many breeds. Typically these horses have pink skin and brown eyes.

Double Dilution: This is caused by two copies the cream gene, it washes the coat color out to a very pale creamy white color and causes blue eyes. However the horses is not white.
