Chestnut vs. Sorrel
What's the difference between chestnut and sorrel?
Most of the ranchers we know use "sorrel." The english riders we know usually use "chestnut." So we decided to do a little homework and research the real meaning of each term. As it turns out, the two terms basically mean the same thing. A horse that is reddish in color, with no black markings, (black legs, black mane, black tail, etc.) For the time being, we've decided Maverick is a chestnut, but he probably considers himself a sorrel.
