Kunst has a new foal-baby, a wonderful gaited filly! She's a gorgeous little chestnut, and just so cute I had to draw her.
Welcome to the world, baby Cinnamon Streudel!!!
Also, I think I've developed a new digital inking style. It takes longer, but...I like the end result, it looks far more like my tradmat inking. :)
*cough* I love how her head came out. XD

I'm not sure if she has white feet...if not, the area might stay light, or it might blend more when she's an adult. XD That lightening-near-the-hooves can be misleading...back when I was a teenager, a friend and I became CONVINCED that a gelding named Blue's feet were white, because his colour faded slowly with a gradient from black to white at his feet. Since for his breed it was appropriate that his hooves be blacked only if they were dark hooves, and clear-coated if they were white, we decided he MUST BE SANDED. XD My dad busted out his power-sander, and cleaned up the first hoof...nope, not white, dark. We moved to the next hoof...nope, not white, dark. :P The NEXT hoof...nope, dark again! We had a major fight over it...my dad insisted he wasn't gonna bother doing that last foot, until finally I made a wager...that the LAST FOOT WAS WHITE.
Lo and behold, he had one white foot. XD All his legs were the same, but the horn was pale instead of a dark colour. XD!!!! Blue went out into that showring with three black hooves...and one pinkish-white one. XD!!!
My first gelding, Dandy, was like that too...all of his legs faded into a paler gold/white colour (he was a really dark palomino with dun factoring) and all of his hooves were white. XD Just depends on the horse!

LOL, he did great. Took second overall in the class he was in and that was at the state finals...meaning that in Michigan that year, of ALL the horses on high school equestrian teams throughout the whole state, only ONE HORSE was judged to be better. :)
Sadly a few months later Blue had a bad colick and died.

She does have a back right pastern, but I believe the rest is just fading. In chestnuts and sorrels* you often get a "fading" from the knee and hocks down on the legs. You will also often see flaxen or lighter mane and tail in the ones who fade out. This is most pronounced in the Haflinger breed who are stricly shades of sorrel/chestnut with flaxen mane and tail.
The only real way to tell is to look at the skin color, or as Dogsoul noted in the ancedote, cleaning off the hoof so that you can see the true color of the horn. And even that can be misleading if the horse has erime spots (dark areas along the coronet).
*I tend to define "sorrel" as a chestnut with fading below the knee/hock and a lighter mane and tail.
