Photo Challenge: Spot the Shape in These Equine Markings
Submitted by readers!
Some equine markings have held traditional significance (show of hands: who’s read King of the Wind?) Others are fairly standard: diamond-shaped stars, symmetrical blazes, four white socks in the much-loved and much-scrubbed “chrome.”
But for this week’s photo challenge, we’re looking at some truly unique markings, submitted by readers!
