[drivingpairs] Re: sorrel and Chestnut

Extremely outdated book that predates genetic testing.  We now know they are 
genetically the same no matter what shade they are.  Much better reading would 
be Dr. Sponenberg's Equine Color Genetics or the website EquineColor.com.

  Subject: [drivingpairs] sorrel and Chestnut


  I used to drive a pair of horses that were the same shade of red, but 
  one was a sorrel and one was a chestnut.  Read Ben Green's book titled 
  'The Color of Horses' and the differences will be obvious.  Both come in 
  several shades, but a sorrel will fade out on the legs and may have a 
  lighter tail and mane.  A chestnut carries the same color down to the 
  foot (not counting white markings.)  Very different!
