The horse ocat calculator does not have brown listed. Does anyone know of another that does?
(Brown stallion to chestnut mare if that helps!)
Hi Freya,
What do you mean by brown? I’m not sure you will find a color calculator that offers you brown as a choice. Sometimes seal bay animals are called brown, but genetically they are bay.
If you do find another color calculator (with or without brown) I hope you’ll come back and share it! 🙂
Good luck
A “brown” horse may really be a liver chestnut, a bay, or, if it looks chocolate colored, and has a slightly lighter to cream mane and tail, a silver dapple. Hope this helps you…
Interesting. The weight calculater will help those who worry about their animal’s condition.

Hmmm. The color caculator does not have: Silver Dapple Dun, Liver Chesnut, Sable Champagne, Silver Dapple Brown, or Amber cream…. Does anyone know of any other caculators?
i have the same trouble finding a calculator that has brown. it is an actual colour, not a bay or chestnut, and can be geneticaly tested for. i have a brown mare to a chestnut stallion, closest i can figure is it will either be brown (both mare’s parents brown) chestnut or black.
Hey there. I have find this site quite interesting http://www.horsemath.com/horse-feed-calculator . What do you think? I tried various settings and the results are interesting. Dont know if it is dependable or not. Any advice?
The color calculator also doesn;t have the blanket or leopaard appaloosa option. anyone know of one that does?
Try this one. It has brown and PATN1 and PATN2.
