Description: Red horses come in many shades and names such as Chestnut (generally a reference to the darker red horses), and Sorrel (generally a reference to a light or medium colored red horse). The body of a red horse can vary from liver, and deep cherry to cinnamon. Red horses do not have darker markings on there points (legs and ears) but may have a darker red counter-shading stripe. A red horses mane and tail may be darker, or lighter such as in the flaxen chestnut.

A horse must inherit the "e" gene from both parents to be red.
