Boots do a handy hair spray/dye in white.
I think it's called "wicked white" It is a temporary spray so will wash out, I use it on socks etc.
Just be careful and remember to test a very small area, as it's not designed for horses.

TBH most judges at local level won't bother over a bit of a scar if they like the horse.

If there isn't any broken skin - trainer whitener will cover well but you need your horse to be blingy white to match!

Try rubbing some megatek into the scar - very good at getting hair to grow back. In the meantime you can mix some show whitener into a paste and apply. There are also various cover up products from Supreme etc which also do the trick.

Good tack shops do sell special products for covering blemishes, can't remember the makes of hand but there not pricey and last you....for every time your horse gets a nick.
Not sure if Supreme Show Products do a range ..?

Supreme Cover Magic is really good.

championtails makeup is very good for covering scars.

You could use some mascara...depending on the colour of your horse ...blend with some eye shadow...preferably not sparkly! lol and not your own ha haa lol it does work providng your horse is either a ginger, bay etc...don't think you can get blue or green horses...
