Face
Markings
Star

It is
usual for horses to have white roundish "star"
shapes on their face, set high, between the eyes.
|
|
Stripe
Horses
often have thin white lines running from the forehead
to the muzzle. Stripes often connect with stars,
as here. (The area where the star would be is wider on the stripe.)
|
Snip
|
|
|
A snip
is a white spot on the muzzle, between the nostrils.
|
Interrupted
Stripe
|
|
|
A stripe
can also be "interrupted", by having
a star, a short stripe in the middle of the face,
and a snip.
|
Blaze

|
|
A blaze
is just a wide stripe.
|
White
Face

If all
of the area from the forehead, passing through the
eyes, end ending at the muzzle, is white, the horse
is said to have a "white face".

Sock
If half
of a horse's lower leg (cannon bone) is white, the

Stocking
If all of
a horse's lower leg (cannon bone) is white, the
horse has a "stocking."
|
Coronet
If a
horse has some white hair just above the hoof, the
