I believe that sorrel and chestnut are two different things. I owned one of
each.
And I was taught to use ‘breeching’, not ‘britching’; perhaps it is more
from the traditional ‘English’ way of doing things. (And yes, I had to add
that word to my computer’s spell-check dictionary). At least we all
understand what the other means anyway. You say toe-may-toe, I say
toe-mah-toe. My spell-check is having a fit!

sorrel v chestnut....well, I think this color name is different by breed
also, not just by geographical area.

Have a question for the pros: Is it britching or breeching?
This is kind of like “sorrel” or “chestnut”. In the east they don’t use
“sorrel” to describe horse color, in the west it is a prevalent word.
“Headstall” or “bridle”, same thing. I think Britching is a more
western-used term. When I see packing and mule sites it is usually spelled
that way.
