these are really interesting!! so one of the horses at the place that I ride is named Fern, and she's either a bay blanket appaloosa or a bay roan blanket appaloosa

and the picture you used for "socks" looks like my dream horse

I love the brindles!!!!!

Lol

what you're calling pasterns is what my riding instructor defines as socks, but if the pictures here are right, then what I have been calling socks for my fan fiction are apparently pasterns, unless I say "big socks" or "small socks"

Socks go half way up the cannon, but pesters stay near the fetlocks

according to Wikipedia:

• Stocking: white marking that extends at least to the bottom of the knee or hock, sometimes higher.

• Sock: white marking that extends higher than the fetlock but not as high as the knee or hock. This marking is sometimes called a "boot."

• Fetlock or Sock: white marking that extends over the fetlock, occasionally called a "boot."

• Pastern: white marking that extends above the top of the hoof, but stops below the fetlock.

• Coronet: white just above the hoof, around coronary band, usually no more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) above the hoof.

Ahh... Wikipedia that world's greatest resource

lol ikr? supposedly it's not always reliable but that's basically what eqinest. com or something like that said so I believe it

It's usually pretty accurate

yeah it is

Did you know there is a TGH Wikipedia page?

wait what? cool! I'm googling that

hang on do you mean Wikia? the link to that is this: http://the-guardian-herd.wikia.com/wiki/The_Guardian_Herd_Wikia

but I can't find a Wikipedia page for TGH

You do know TGH is the acronym for The Guardian Herd, right?

yeah . . . why?

technically it's called an initialism but acronym is more well-known

I did not know that, and I was just making sure you knew what that meant (I find it kinda annoying when people shorten it to GH)

its faster to type that way

Shorting it to TGH or GH?
