What a neat looking guy! I’m not usually a fan of chestnuts but he’s a lovely dark shade… almost looks bay. I can see some white hairs on the rump. Were they always there or did that come with age?[/QUOTE]
Aww, thank you! I always loved his color, too. He was my first horse and he taught me so much. I started riding him when he was about 10 years old, and he always had those white rabicano-type hairs. His color changed a lot with the seasons and he got a little more white on him with age, too.
Foal photos (fortunately for me, his breeder and previous owner both had photos of him, and I still treasure them):
