My boy has this, only shows up in his summer coat. Called crushed "velvet" or "puzzlecoat" and I beleive is most common in friesians although my boy is reg sec D
Ive seen similar but not as extreme. Must be fun to brush!
I had a cob whose coat was every which way. It was hell to clip neatly.
Yep - crushed velvet. Alf has it too - it irritates me intensely! I want him to be smooth and shiny, and he has splodges on both sides of his neck!
Nice to hear there are others. I'm clipping him tomorrow so should be interesting!
Never seen that before. What an education this forum is.
I have a miniature shetland that has a sort of inside out winter coat but a normal summer coat.
The hair goes in the wrong direction and he ends up with what looks like a seam along his back (sticking up) and a seam on his flank whorls
It's a Heavy Horse thing. The majority of Clydesdales have this patterning, mine included. I've also seen it on horses known to have Clydesdale in their breeding.

My Sec D has it as well. Very pronounced in summer.. one year she had a perfect heart shape on her neck! So cute.
Fascinating! I have never seen this before either. Glad to see I am not the only one thinking "Well his coat looks pretty and interesting, but I wouldn't like to try clipping it!"
Clipped out, his coat is completely normal! Weird, eh!
He's got it this year, but the pattern/location is completely different - it's really odd!
