The incidence of Chestnut -- a more or less uniform red all over the body, without black points -- varies greatly in the descendants of the Turanian horse. The Akhal-Teke is only rarely chestnut, but in the Iomud chestnut is commonplace. In the Arabian, chestnut is very common, mainly due to Lady Wentworth's penchant for importing and breeding them, and claiming in The Authentic Arabian Horse and His Descendants that "the best color is golden chestnut with four white feet and blaze."

The photo above shows a slight bit of glow (the bright reddish) areas on the withers of an Arabian mare. Arabians, particularly chestnuts and some clear bays, often have a bit of glow (though not approaching that of the fully glowing Turkoman), and these colors are described as "flaming" by the Arabs.
