Wow! I always look at those horse-for-sale ads at the top of the window, but I never before saw a horse that I've seen running at the track;
Anwar Sadat
I've seen him on the NY circuit and found the orange tint in his tail very appealing.
Other probable liver-flaxens include Show Trial (also NY circuit, have not yet found a picture) and
Roja Grande
--- I forget what track.
Love the livers.

I love that shade too. You see it a lot in QH, Arabs and Morgans for some reason. I love it when they are really dark and then have the really red or orange mane/tail!
What is Anwar Sadat's pedigree?
ETA: Never mind!

I've seen a few liver flaxens in other breeds, like Morgan.
In the 1950s Biblical movie, "The Story of Ruth," there is an utterly black horse with a Day-Glow orange mane and tail.
I need to see that movie again just because of him. Although, being a movie horse -- the makeup artists might have introduced a little Miss Clairol.

Maybe a Breyer model, lol.
This girl,
Florida Quaker looks just about black, but she's chestnut. She won a race today at, uhm, Finger Lakes... the OTB channel is carrying all sorts of tracks and it's a little confusing.

My QH mare is a liver. My fav color. Her filly is a chestnut, but looks lighter. I was hoping she would darken up. She was late at shedding her baby fuzz out so I body clipped her. So that might be making her lighter.

Cuuuuute. I love it with the white markings!
There's a liver-looking racer on the Racing In Japan thread.

some of those arabians look almost Silver, but I'm not sure if you can get that gene in arabian horses... they look great either way, specially Elechtric..and plus he is grandson to Echoo Magnifficoo...
fantastic

Nope, silver currently does not exist in Arabians.

This filly is magnificent!
She looks almost jet-black but has a brilliant orange tail. Raced today at Prairie Meadows, Race 4.
If I hadn't seen the post parade I would never have had an idea about her tail because it was not obvious in the race. She didn't place.
