Some of you know this (Flamefrost for sure), that I am very particular about horse markings and colorings. I do a ton of research into colorings (especially uncommon ones) and I noticed that there are quite a few markings and colorings that no one on here has used yet, here are some of my favorites:
Badger Face, this marking is so rare that I can only find pictures with two different horses with it, basically what it is, is a horse has a color like black, or chestnut in a blaze on their face:
Brindle, this is a slightly more common marking, but isn't very well known (I think). A horse with brindle markings has irregular stripes (usually darker that the main color) on almost every color except roan:
Chimera, this is a super cool and kinda sad coloring. Chimera is the result of when two horse embryos (early stage of unborn horse) collide, causing them to form one horse embryo, so the horse has a combination of what both horses would look like:
My OC Willowfrost is also Chimera:
Bald face, this a pretty common horse marking, especially with pintos. Basically a blade face is just a really wide blaze, but it has to go around the horses eye:
Ermine Spots, are spots that are in a horse's sock:
it is connected, but would it be possible for a smaller star to be inside the blaze?
If the blaze is connected to the star it's just a blaze, but if they aren't connected it's a star and snip
Cool!
I might post a picture tomorrow or Tuesday
Can horses have like a wide blaze and a star or something in the blaze? Probably not, but there is a chestnut gelding where I ride named Finnegan (aka Finn, aka Bony-Pony, but he isn't bony) with a perfect narrow blaze with a diamond connected to it at the top and there are five or six little dots of reddish hair in the white diamond
Same here
Same.
This is really cool! I know absolutely nothing about horse coloring names so any info about it is super interesting to me
Very pretty!!
I had never heard of Badger Face (or a lot of the others tbh) but I really like Badger Face and Chimera.
P.S. Java has an Ermine Spot, but just one, in her sock
I do to
I love Chimera’s
Cool!!!
