Horse Lovers ... Can You Tell Me What This Means?

Question

Have you ever heard the expression, "Lots of Chrome" used to describe a horse?

I saw an ad for a horse (Half-Arab yearling, chestnut filly) for sale, and she was described as "flashy, with LOTS OF CHROME" ... and I have no idea what that means!

Even my daughter and her horsey-friends don't know ... do you?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Lots of Chrome means a lot of white, flashy points.  The animal probably has two or more white legs or feet or stockings. more than likely a lot of white on the face.

To most people, white on a horse is startling compared to the darker body parts - it gets attention.  However, my boyfriend isn't a chrome kind of guy, he likes the browns and bays without a lot of white - but I've always loved lots of white.

Watch the ads, when they say this, does the horse have a lot of white on it's body?  That's what it means.

It just means she is beautiful and stands out next to other horses......it may be her color, the way she carries herself, or anything else that grabs people's attention to her beauty.

Answer 8

maybe it comes with a lot of gear for shows. But I wouldn't think they would be showing yearlings. .

Might be something in the horse's personality, or stamina?

Maybe it has shiny horseshoes.lol

But aparently it means white markings. ha.

Answer 9

Well in slang it means showy.  So they could be saying that the horse is very showy and attractive.

Or they could be talking about white markings that the horse has.  When a horse has lots of white markings, people normally say the horse has chrome.  They say this because the horse looks very showy, which refers back to the slang definition.

Answer 10

Answer 11

Lots of Chrome means a lot of white markings one her face legs ect.

Answer 12

Yep!  I sure do know what it means.  If it was in an ad in the paper, it was meant to get your attention.  Looks like it did.  

Anyway, it is an expression that is used when a horse or pony is a real knock out (like a pretty woman).  Another term used is "flashy".  Basically it is a very attractive horse that stands out in a crowd.  But like I always say "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder"

Answer 13

For example: 4 white socks and a blaze face would be lots of chrome.

Answer 14

Chrome equals white markings, in horse lingo.  She may have a blaze face and white socks, stockings, pasterns, etc.  Or any of the white markings commonly seen on horses.

Answer 15

Lots of chrome usually means that she's flashy and an attention getter/ ive also heard it said meaning lots of spirit or shiny coat i still think that it means flashy and attention getting

Answer 16

Chrome is a term used to describe the horses white markings - it sounds "fancy" and really makes the horse sound flashier - then just saying he has socks and a blaze.  Its used to lure a potential buyer!  Just a sales pitch to excite the buyer~

Answer 17

Heyyy.

Chrome refers to their white markings. So a horse with lots of tall socks and a big blaze, for example, has a lot of chrome.

This is a good thing because it makes them flashier in the show ring and to the eye. Just makes the hrse more unique which is why it is advertised when horses are put up for sale, to show the horse is "unique".

Good luck! :)
