Meet Jazz she is 11 months old and part bred Appaloosa but might still spot out although her colour on her passport is black.

In over 30 years, I have 'done' five true black horses. None of them had any white on them (I'd not heard that one about letting the devil out). They were all absolute b*st*rds; so much so, I will never willingly have anything to do with another black horse!

My lovely girl looks black, but is actually liver chestnut on her passport. I thought it was a bit weird at first until I found out that very few horses can be deemed jet black.

Hmm, I'm still claiming black for mine, although it can be hard to tell if the coat is sunbleached!

Brown horses are black on the body but brown around the eyes, muzzle and flank. Maybe on other parts of the body. A black horse, is classed as black, no white or brown at all.

I'd agree with this - always thought Ru was classed as brown because of his light bits:

See now I think Merlin's Quest Janette three's horse and Blackcob are actual Black horses - the rest of us are brown I''m afraid!
(not including the dales of course, who are black even when they are brown. Or ginger...

Only one of ours is a non fading black (one of the colts may be too), the rest do get brown highlights during the summer but they are genetically black
with black muzzles.
