Was that the name of the horse in Mountain Mare? I know it had Molasses in it and she was a choclate palomino, but I couldn't remember her name. I based this lovely girl off that very mare, I love her so much and so I just had to do it.

Blackstrap Molasses...insteresting, I will keep that in my memory bank. She's one of my favorites, but so is Hotspot, and Cha Cha Marengo (Honey), I also like Queen and Dark Sunshine.

I'd have to say my favorites are Dark Sunshine and Jinx. Jinx reminds me of my horse... They act the same. xD

What makes a chocolate palomino? I know a chestnut gene leads to a normal palomino, but what makes this color?

There is no "official" colour called this, though it's sometimes used, but there are no genetics creating something like a chocolate palomino

It could eather be a liver flaxen chestnut, or silver bay

But why is it called it if the color isn't a actual one? I have seem dark palominos, but would one of those have to have some extra

The term "chocolate palomino" is vernacular, it's no official coat colour (and as I said, there are no genetics making a colour like this on a palomio base) so a horse called chocolate palomino is eather a liver flaxen chestnut or a silver bay.

It's juts like some people call a grey horse "white", but a "real" white horse has very different genetics.

And not every flaxen chestnut is a palomino ^^

Oh...well I like to view them a different colors, I guess it's because I saw a shade for it on a sight for some equs dragons, it was lovely on them, they ever got a cremello.

I based her off a book one. This pretty girl (she's lovely with the actual book)

but Rocky Mountain is what the breed is called. I think the term chocolate palomino gives their names a different one. All of this breed looks like this shade

It's a by with the silver gene, with makes the coat dark brown and mane and tail silver. This gene is a dilution, like the gene with makes a chestnut a perlino or a black a grullo

Why does most appear to have white manes then? Do all grullos have black bases?

Grullo has black base and black mane, but most grullos tend to have a bi-coloured mane, and the white hair lays over the black hair. If you lift a grullo's mane up, you can see that the underside is black

Oh. Do you think Silver Bay is called this because it's like the flaxen version of bay? I never seen bays with light manes or tails.
