Does your horse have any unusual markings?

I think both these fairly unusual.
Spotty bits on the coloured and my TB has a pretty cool blaze, and a white side patch!

My last horse's blaze was a perfect upward facing spear. If I'd named him, he would have been Javelin, Spear or Lance. Unfortunately he also had a lot of forelock so I never got a decent photo. His blaze was replicated in his gullet, which always seemed a bit odd.

Current horse, though obviously gorgeous, is a pretty nondescript bay with a pretty standard blaze but he does have a small white spot on one of his shoulders - never been sure if its a sign of an old injury or not!

My roan has a marking that looks the number seven, and another that looks like a leaping salmon. They aren't visible during winter, as his coat turns bay then.

That made me laugh, windswoo. I think it's only horse-mad people who can see a horse in that marking. Head in the air? Mane blowing out? Ear slightly back? There's a wide tail coming out of a skinny rump? Yes, it's there. And very odd legs. I can also see its reflection underneath it, but that reflection disappears under the real horse's belly.

When I first looked at the marking on the horse in post [goes back to see] number 13, Birker's horse, I saw in his marking a rearing horse. That was before I read Birker's post saying that she saw a ghost. It really is a very good ghost and much, much, much, much, much better than a rearing horse.

Yes, a lot of people say they can see a heart (black patch above), but I'm always drawn to what I think is the horse's head.
Unfortunately at the moment she has a very big belly, only got head in bucket as she's on inflacam daily, so balancer only.

My horse has white eyelashes on the right eye and black eyelashes on the left!
That's gorgeous. That's one for a childrens' novel.
Windswoo, I hope you weren't apologising for your horse's tummy :) . Nothing wrong with a curvaceous tummy.
Yes, I see the heart you mention, but took me a few moments. Have you even been tempted to mark in the missing bit of white needed to make it super clear?

I just love this thread. Whoever started it was a genius.
