I have long thought of this colouring as sorrel - is 'blood bay' an alternative nomenclature?<br /><br />You will also find chestnuts varying, and the red-brown is as appropriate a colour for them so long as the manes, tails and lower legs are not darker. The mane and tails can vary from a creamy white to the same colour as the coat, the legs tend I think to be the same as the coat colour except where they end in socks or stockings.Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167684119478977136.post-25750745239199878522013-03-15T17:24:21.363+00:002013-03-15T17:24:21.363+00:00Nice little tutorial for those of us who hate pain...Nice little tutorial for those of us who hate painting the things ;-)<br /><br />IanIanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113835961977211021noreply@blogger.com
