Chestnut foals

Recommended Posts

I have been reading that good stallions do not throw chestnut foals and the preference is for foals to be true to stallion colour. Are chestnut foals from bay or brown stallions perceived to be less valuable?

Think the best 2 foals from my bay mare - by a bay sire - are chestnuts and were/are group level horses. Both sold for six figures as well so others thought so as well.

So I’m of the opinion that it’s a wife’s tale or in more politically correct terms now..bull$&*#

also think some of iffraaj best were chestnuts - gingernuts!?

A huge number of high class winners (out of all proportion to the norm) were neither colour of their parents. (Primarily chestnut as it’s a recessive gene)
Read Peter Pring’s book on analysis of 100 Australasian Champions.
