> Can a chestnut flaxen have dappling? Any horse can have dapples.
> Kria's colouring looks almost like some silver dappling is happening. The silver (dapple) gene doesn't really have anything to do with the dapples. The silver (dapple) gene changes *black* mane and tail hair to a silver color. Silver dapple horses just often have dappling. A chestnut horse does not have any black mane or tail hair for the silver gene to have an effect on. So a chestnut horse can carry the silver gene but it will have no effect on their visual color.
