My guy hasn't got any really unusual markings but certainly has some 'bling' - two long white socks on his hind legs and a big blaze that goes under his chin....I love his markings and reckon he looks pretty flashy, of course I am totally biased though!!

Like you, I am instantly drawn to flashy markings, out of all my trainer's gorgeous foals I always make a beeline straight to the chestnut with big blaze!

Here's my boy, Lethal Hollywood aka "Bubba" doing his thing

He is lovely Hollywood!

It's not that I have anything against plain horses, it's just that I love horses with markings! Like you, the ones with the big blazes and socks always get my attention first!

Nova is beautiful Sway!

My splash mare Fantasy of the Opera, no idea how she got that name


I also have a minimal tobiano gelding with the shape of Australia on his shoulder and tasmania down on his butt, no decent photos though since his mane hides most of it.

I have a partbred andalusian filly (yearling) with some pretty cool markings, being dun she has the zebra stripes down her legs, as well as four long white stockings. But more importantly she has a lovely temperament & can move

I hate bling But Ruby H your horse is fabulous! When I bought Bubba he had a crusty sunburnt nose....not nice at all The only time since I've had him that he got really nasty sunburn was on a 30 degree day when he was wearing his full fly mask with nose cover!! And it was really burnt too, poor boy. He really doesn't like the fly mask anyway and although it was no problem for me to put on him, he started running away from the agistment owner when he saw him coming with it so now he gets put in his stable with a big pile of hay on days where the sun is strong. The stable looks out to his paddock so he can still see his paddock neighbours and this seems to work a treat - happy horse (he likes his stable) and no sunburn! Mud fever hasn't been a problem either (so far, dont want to tempt fate!) as we have a yard with a scorrier surface inside the paddock with a round bale and his stable so we lock him in the yard when his paddock is particularly wet and muddy. He's a very easy going horse so he's content even when stabled or yarded Don't know how I'd deal with the potential sunburn and mud fever issues if I didn't have these facilities available to us or had a horse that didn't like the stable, we'd manage I'm sure but it would be much harder work no doubt!!

My newest addition.....



He ticked all the right boxes, except that bloody blaze.

Thanks ZZ I can't wait to get her out and about, she is really sweet

But agree, mud fever & white socks do not go well
Nor do white socks & people who are OCD about having their horses clean go well together




Some very flash ponies here! I like the pintos where there isn't any colour crossing the midline, as the colour doesn't seem to distort the conformation of the horse so much.

For all "Bling Lover's" or partly lighter coloured coat horses .... YOU need the Schimmel and/or the Socks brush
The special dyed, pure Coco fibre bristle gets stains out like MAGIC !!

Oooo, I can play, both unusual colour and bling! Her colour is, we think probably a base colour black then the ticking gives a slightly grey appearance, then sabino and splash, genetically she can't be grey so!? She is a wb x tb with weltmeyer/salute lines, and I love her! I was meant to sell her, but couldn't part with her, so I have high hopes for her under saddle, then maybe some babies in the future she has three white stockings, a big blaze, some belly splash and a few lighter patches.

I don't like strangely coloured horses much. A nice bay is a lovely thing. Which is probably why I've ended up with this in my paddock


To this day I don't actually know what to call it. It's kind of a cross between rabicano and a blood spot. Mare is a stock horse x god knows what.

I also have a taffy (silver dapple gene, love it) and two liver chestnuts. Then just a chestnut and a nice, plain bays

ETA: My adorable and plain old brown weanling filly has a cute marking ... it's either a moon which is appropriate because her reg name is B. Sister Moonshine or a backwards 'L' also appropriate for her paddock name- Lyra.

Frosty is obviously part clydie, he is a burnt buckskin, with ticking which is more prevalent at some times of the year than others. 2 hind stockings, 2 front socks, front near knee splash, blaze, belly splash and raccoon markings on the tail, he's a combination of rabicano and sabino.
