i'd say palamino ??? but not 100% convinced...

ps gorgeous whatever the colour

[ginny!]

i think it was haflingers that are all chestnut and flaxen not palomino (as most seem to think):)

it might not have been a haflinger though *waits patiently for chev*;)

gorgeous horse :D

Ginny is right,all haffy's are chestnut with flaxen mane and tail,they vary in shade,but are definitely chestnut,not pally.

I won't take credit for knowing this BTW,I got it from a post that chev made some time ago:p

[laceyfreckle]

Haflingers are flaxen chestnuts ........they can't be palomino's :)

crossposted with devonlass...sorry

[HashRouge]

I agree - chesnut :)
I have a friend who owns a haffy and she has educated me on these matters!

[Stassy]

All Haflingers are chestnut of varying shades even though just about everyone I see for sale is advertised as palomino!

[burness_21]

yeah thats right haffies are always chestnut flaxen

Chestnut!

Is it Suffolk Punches that are called Chesnuts (without the T?)? Some heavy horse anyway.


S/He (Sorry don't know which!) is gorgeous and I LOVE your bridle.

Apparently so. I just think someone in Suffolk just couldn't spell.

It's just cause we all have odd farmers accents, so when people were transcribing us talking, they didn't pick up on the half missing, dropped t ;)

Apparently there are 7 shades of Suffolk Punch Chesnut

Anyway back to the OP - Haflingers are chesTnut with flaxen, never palomino. Equally there are so many different shades and variations on the colouring, even though they're labelled the same.

Ceri1389 LOL.. wouldn't dream of it ! Grew up in Suffolk,near Woodbridge, its a lovely county but, by heck, my Father-in-law, who's a real country boy, doesn't half talk funny.(Runs for cover..)

chestnut with pangare - true Haffy colouring....
No cream gene therefore can only be chestnut.

Ive always loved palominos, and one day my husband shocked me and said
'I know where there is a whole field of palominos'!
I was like......take me there!!
so we went to look, and it was a haffy stud - yes, fields of them!
I sadly had to tell him to tell him that they were infact chestnut - but very sweet of him all the same, as haffys are gorgeous!
