The site says "liver chestnut" -- but with that light of a mane? with
lighter legs? Is it more possibly a silver dapple?

Thoughts??

Theodore Roosevelt:

A typical vice of American politics is the avoidance of saying anything
real on real issues.

A vote is like a rifle; its usefulness depends upon the character of the
user.

Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government
owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.

I care not what others think of what I do, but I care very much about
what I think of what I do! That is character!

It is difficult to make our material condition better by the best law,
but it is easy enough to ruin it by bad laws.

The worst lesson that can be taught a man is to rely upon others and to
whine over his sufferings. If an American is to amount to anything he
must rely upon himself, and not upon the State; he must take pride in
his own work, instead of sitting idle to envy the luck of others; he
must face life with resolute courage, win victory if he can and accept
defeat if he must, without seeking to place on his fellow-men a
responsibility which is not theirs.

Looks like the silver dilution to me. Silver dilutes black pigment,
not red, so an otherwise bay horse will have a mane and tail and lower
legs as light as or lighter than the body color.

Could be either, but I vote for chestnut anyway. Why:

- no dark tips on ears
- quite warm shade on sides
- no hints of dappling (although all silver dapples don't have any dapples)
- front knees and (uh, what those "back knees" are called in English?) are
not much darker than body.

Hocks.

Thanks, Muleskinner! Should have remembered that. Next time I promise I
will.
