How to Make Chestnuts (not the type you eat)

Chestnuts or Night Eyes "vary in size and shape and are sometimes compared to the fingerprints in humans.^[1] For purposes of identification some breed registriesrequire photographs of them among other individual characteristics.^[1] However, because chestnuts grow over time and horse grooms often peel or trim off the outer layers for neatness, their appearance is subject to change."
