Horses with Lacing Patterns

A look at horses with lacing around the world and in a variety of different breeds.

Also called giraffe markings, marble, cobweb, lace or catbacked, the cause of this patterning is unknown. There is speculation it could be from a fungal infection called rain rot, a blood disorder or could be associated with appaloosas or pintos. Like many patterns, it tends to develop over time.
