Sand Wash Basin Stallions

Horse Color

  The stallions are listed by color. The color of a horse can be debated by different people visiting the Basin. There is also some difference in color based on where you are from.  In some areas chestnut and sorrel are the same color, and in the riding world sorrel is Western and chestnut is English. Right or wrong I was taught that copper penny color was sorrel and the darker red colors were chestnut, while the really dark reds almost browns were liver chestnut.  Genetically,  sorrel and chestnut are the same color. 

We have included a description of what the "standards" are for assigning a color. Even with this information we need to remember that we each see color differently and may believe the horse is a different color than what we have listed.

We also need to understand that a foal is born one color and will generally change color within the first year or two. Gray horses are never born gray. They lighten, or turn gray with age and not all gray out in the same length of time.

Within each color group there are also sub-groups. We will not list the sub-group of the different colors. Any color of horse may have white face markings and white on the legs.

Genetic makeup is the only true definer of color and with wild horses that is not possible. So we do the best we can.  

 All photos were taken by WHW. We do not have great photos of each of the horses in Sand Wash Basin, we will post the best we have and update with better photos when available. 

This page will always be a work in progress as the wild horses of Sand Wash Basin change.
