Chestnut or Liver Chestnut 🌰

What do you think? Chestnut or Liver Chestnut (this is her first shed.)

She does look darker underneath so possibly liver chestnut, my friends yearling colt seems to be shedding the same.

Chestnut- the foal shed is always the darkest. They tend to revert to the color they were when born

It is so hard to tell with foals! Some foals are born bay with black points and turn grey! You just never know till fully matured but really wanted to do a poll also she is loved endless amounts. never the less

No grey is ever born grey. They are born black, bay or chestnut then grey out. Some change quicker than others.

That is what I just wrote..

"Some" foals meaning not every foal is "]destined" to be grey, there are 29+ other colours. I didn't state foals are born grey

Very pretty!

So pretty, have no idea but she is lovely. My foal was born the same colour as the underneath of a mushroom, almost pinky. Vet insisted she would either be grey or liver chestnut. Both parents bay and she turned out as black as a horse can get.

My friend's foal was also born a mushroom colour and is now black.

I’d say liver however Faran has gotten darker as he has gotten older he was so light when I first bought him and now he goes between the two I think

Some foals are born grey. I've had two, both were white by the time they were two.

Me too - mine is bright chestnut in winter, and very dark liver chestnut in summer. Looks like a completely different horse from winter to summer.
