It's a Mustang up for sale on the BLM site... looks dark liver chestnut, but the mane (which I would expect to see flaxen) is this color:

IMO this is flaxen on a super dark liver (flaxen can only lighten so much apparently).

Love the contrast. You see this combo a lot in Morgans and QHs for some reason.

| I've seen several Arabs like that. They call it a liver chestnut with flaxen mane and tail. Burt Reynolds owned a good example, but I didn't take a pic. |

Yes she is def. a chestnut, some call this black chestnut. In Arabs and QHs you see the red m/t a lot more and in Morgans you see a more straw or greyish colored mane as much as the red mane. Either way that's a cool color and not a bad looking horse. Too bad my bronc busting days are OVER... 
Here is a younger one at an earlier stage (and kind of sweaty)

They also had a couple silver bays on there.

I agree with the aforementioned opinion. |
