Horses With Reverse Face Markings

A look at horses with reverse face markings around the world and on a variety of different breeds.

Reversed face markings are essentially backwards and show colored stars, blazes or sometimes just splotches of dark against a lighter or white face. On a pinto, this is called badger face and usually comes from an occluded marking. Other white patterns, including appaloosa and grey can mimic a badger, with base color along bony parts of the face. Other colors that might create this effect to a more subtle degree are duns and sooty animals, which can both have patterns of dark hairs on the face.
