What breed of horse is chestnut with a white mane and tail?

{sydney}: What breed of horse is chestnut with a white mane and tail?
I saw a chestnut horse with a white mane and tail and I was wondering what type of horse it was.
I know chestnut is not a breed. I was saying I saw a lady who breeds the horses that ALL look like that and I just wanted to know what type of horse they were.

Chestnut is a color not a breed.

Answer by Mandy R
Well the color would be flaxen chestnut. But there are a few breeds who are almost always that color, such as Rocky Mountain Horses and Haflingers (more palomino, but some are pretty dark).

EDIT — Why am I getting so many thumbs down? Everything I said was right. The question was pretty confusing, but I answered both sides of it… I told her what the color was called and what the breed might have been. What’s the big deal?

Answer by Katie
Chestnut is a color so almost any breed can be a chestnut also mane color isn’t necessarily related to breed either so I m not sure what your asking.

Answer by Taylor
It could have been any breed of horse, but Lambert Morgans are “typically” seen with a red chesnut coat and a flaxen, or blond, mane and tail. Halflingers can also have simliar colorings as can Rocky Mountain horse.

Answer by Claire
I’d say Haflinger or Black Forest Chestnut.
Some palominos are dark enough to look chestnut too.

GEEZ!!! What’s with all the thumbs downs?!?!

Answer by Arab lover <3
There are many types of horse that have that coloring.

If it was small it could have been a Halfinger )

If it was HUGE it could have been a Belgian(https://www.livingpictures.org/imagesanimals/horses/belgian1.jpg).

If it was medium sized it could’ve been a Palamino Quarter Horse(https://stevegattis.com/images/sales/palomino_small.jpg).

It could have been many other types of horse but I hope this helps!

Chestnut is a color, and is a very common color in horses..so it could be a lot of breeds. but if you describe it more, than it may be easier to tell u which breed it is 😀

Answer by Driver
Many breeds can have that coloring. Two breeds that almost always are that color are Haflingers and Belgians. Belgians are big draft horses and Haflingers are smaller.

Answer by Greg B
Any breed. Chestnut is a color that can occur in (almost) any breed of horse.

Answer by LBentforHPTS!!
The only Breed of that color is the Suffolk Punch. It is, in fact, the only allowable color for the breed.

As for the rest of the millions of chestnut horses out there, ball park guess, probably 40% are flaxen manes and tails. Some are very light, approaching white.

People will use hair coloring agents to ‘enhance’ the lightness of the color.
