colors of the horse: chestnut

Above shows a chestnut colored horse. This color is a bright reddish brown color. Horses that are this color often have markings, such as socks, (a little bit of white on one of the legs), or a stocking, (just like a sock only there is more white on one of the legs), a star, (a little white spot between the eyes), a blaze or a stripe, (a blaze is a big white spot usually going down to the nostrils), (a stripe is a thin line often going down between the nostrils.) The picture above is a chestnut colored horse with no markings on the leg, on the head there is a star attached to a stripe that is not going down to the nostril.
