Nope, probably not a chestnut within "foru" generations of his pedigree. :roll:

He is also listed as a Thoroughbred, an Appaloosa, and a Quarter Horse in other ads (with the same photo !) Hmmmm.

Hi Bondama, that mare might actually be a chestnut. She does not have black points on her legs. Her mane and tail does look dark, but if you look closely she does have red hints in it. I would say she is a liver chestnut. I have a welsh pony that I constantly call a bay, and she is just a dark liver chestnut. She is like a bay without the black points.
Here she is:

he also doesnt look very athletic and graceful.. He looks like he's trotting to a soup kitchen for a meal.

Light bay: the mane and tail are black and not dark brown.

If you go to ad and check out their Thunder acres website--there are three stallions (two with the same picture) that don't match the descriptions. :?: :?:
