Chestnut Horses

Old wives Tale - I have three chestnut mares all used in the RS - so have to be up to the job - have one bay gelding - now that's another story !! Love mares - even better if chestnut or Palomino !!
 
I have four chestnuts! Two mares both chalk and cheese. And two stallions again both so different. Also three bays and a grey!
 
I had at one point 4 bay mares!! Sick of bays I put one mare in foal to a chestnut got a black colt!!!!!!!!! All her foals have been dark coated no matter what colour the stallion. So I went and got myself a nice appaloosa stallion just for something different. Love chestnuts.
Would like to add, just as an observation the first list of chestnut comp horses: were 2 of them not a bit quirky, has anyone seen Toytown rear? Did anyone see Tankers town not go in the start box at badminton? I think these are very good horses but if you only saw them 2 would it not put you off

When I bought my last horse I ended up with a chestnut even though I said I wanted a bay or black

I sold him at the end of the year as I just didnt get on with him, nothing to do with his colour.
I agree that they are more sensitive, he always had nicks and got bad mud fever.
I have ordered a bay from my mare

I have no logical reason but I dont want a chestnut. Some of my favourite horses have been chestnut. I learnt to ride on a chestnut mare who was so kind and really looked after me, but for me I would much rather have a bay or black.
 
I love chestnut mares, have had several over the years. Have tried to breed one over the last 4 years and sadly they have all come out bay !!!!! Will just have to go and buy one !!
 
I envy you with 3 chestnut mares, every time i phone about a horse for sale its Bay, if anybody spots add for chestnut SJ mare for sale let me know where to find it !!!!
