Flaxen Chestnut that looks Silver instead
Recently had this foal he looked completely normal for a Chestnut until he turned a year old. He can almost pass for a Silver Bay right now. Just wondering if anyone else has run into this or if you can successfully breed for this look consistently.

and i have noticed it has staying in the line no matter what i do. So i think you can breed this look consistently if as long as the horse your breeding him to is a chestnut
