How do I...  Draw Markings For My Grey Horse?

Having trouble drawing markings for your grey horse? Here are some helpful hints:

• Always remember to look for pink skin underneath the white hairs and mark "yes" or "no" in the Underlying Pink Skin boxes.
• Clip and/or wet the legs and face to make it easy to identify pink skin.
• If the hoof color is light or parti, you will most likely find pink skin above it.
• Only white markings with underlying pink skin are "true" markings on a grey horse.

Why is pink skin so important?

Since markings are normally drawn at a young age, the horse is usually in the process of greying and white markings are still distinguishable at this time. When the horse continues to grey, these white markings will blend with the rest of the coat color and can be difficult to identify. However, the pink skin will never change. Pink skin can be used to identify the horse's true markings for a lifetime. This is why it is so important to correctly identify where the pink skin is present.
