What is a sorrel horse?

Sorrel is a common coat color in horses that ranges from a light, reddish-brown to a dark, chestnut color. The color is produced by a base coat of red with a mane and tail that may be the same color or slightly lighter.

Sorrel horses can come in a variety of breeds and are typically known for their versatility and overall good temperament. They are seen in disciplines such as western pleasure, ranch work, trail riding, and even English riding.

The term "sorrel" is most commonly used in North America, while in other parts of the world the color may be referred to as "chestnut." Regardless of the name, sorrel horses are prized for their strength, speed, and beauty, making them a popular choice among equestrians.
