25 Horse Markings and Their Meanings

Appaloosa/palomino and haflinger have interesting markings

You got it wrong when you said that horse's markings will sometimes disappear. That only happens with gray horses as they age. They are usually born dark, so their white markings, particularly blazes and stripes, will look as if they've changed, but it is only because the hair around them would have gradually turned to a lighter gray or white around the white markings that they were born with. This doesn't happen with any other color of horse.

watched. facts i never knew. 150,000 breathtaking MUSTANGS on the loose!

That last one has Sesame Street Bert hair poof. 😊

I think you're wrong about what Roan color is. I think you said it was a sign of injury? I always thought it was just white hairs spread through the darker parts of a colored horse . The amount of weight increases as the horse ages so the dark parts become lighter.

I once saw a bald-face whose head looked EXACTLY like a horse skull! Would not be surprised if that turned out to be his name.

At 12:20 they discuss the Roan coloring, and they have it totally wrong! It's not dark marks, it's white hairs flecked throughout a darker background color, which can be Bay (brown), Chestnut (red), or any other color. It generally covers a large area of the body, and it has NOTHING to do with injuries, as others have also said here. The rest of the video is basically correct, but that section on Roan coloring is outrageously wrong! Injuries that leave a scar on a horse can have lighter or white hair grow on them, and on a Roan colored horse an injury can be darker, without the white hairs that are present speckled in the surrounding area. That might be the start of where their thinking went wrong. The channel owner is Romanian, and they know that if they talk with an accent Americans will will b*tch about that. They wanted a correct translation to English, so they paid to have the computerized translation done, then they gave us the video for free. So we are actually very lucky to have this video for free, in spite of that one mistake. I've never seen another video that explains the names of the different markings, so in spite of the Roan errors, I'm glad to see this video. It would be a lot better though if they could repost it with the part about the Roan coloring edited out.

Couldn’t you get the flies off that first horse before filming?

This computer generated voice must stop.

Very wrong about the roans. It's genetic. There are homozygous roan stallions that will produce a roan offspring every time.
