A curious equine. At first it looks "chestnut" but then, when you look
its tail and mane, its unmistakably bay. But then, it looks somehow "chestnut". :D

Only because you can't see his leg color IMO.

If you can find chestnut or bay hair on those legs you're better than me. The white stockings extend almost to his chest.

Makes sense... he's carrying the same gene that creates their white. :lol:

First flash impression: "Oh its a chestnut!" "Err...oops...it's a "bay"!
How come did I thought it was a "chestnut"? :|

I agree...it's the color of those leg markings! Yikes take a look at those hooves! :shock:

Interesting case!
