Re: [haflingerfriends] Chocolate Haflingers??

I don't have the knowledge of desirable traits but love the subject because my haffie gelding is chocolate with silver dapples and a silvery cream mane and tail. The color is of coffee/chocolate with no hint of that reddish or light chestnut that many haffies display. His picture is posted in the album titled Bud of SE MI. Enjoy,

We are looking at two Haflinger fillies & one is the beautiful chestnut & blonde the other is a dark chestnut - I think referred to as Chocolate? Is this correct? Is this a desirable or undesirable trait in the Haflinger world? Both parents of the Chocolate girl are the light chestnut & blonde typical Haflinger.

The color really doesn't matter to me as we are just looking for a youngster to work with, but I'm curious as I've never seen that dark of a Haflinger.

The chocolate filly has the double mane that I just love also - just the color is throwing me off. Where does this come from - is it only in a certain line? I'd love to find out more if anyone has any knowledge to share!
