just trying to calm this down

Never said it was bad, but you just cant trust it

That's what I do

Cass, it's fine if Dragon trusts Wikipedia

Dragon, liking Wikipedia is fine but fact-check it on another site afterwards

....

I'm not being sarcastic

nope

I don't think so

I hope your being sarcastic Dragon xD

supposedly it isn't always reliable because "anyone can edit it and change the article" or something, but it's usually okay ((don't tell my teacher I said that))

Cass, how could you not like Wikipedia?!?!

that was from here: http://www.theequinest.com/colors/markings/legs/

okay, here's what theequinest.com says:

Coronet

This is the smallest of the leg markings & shows the least amount of white. The mark is only displayed around the coronet band, generally rising no more than an inch up from the hoof.

Pastern

Often difficult to distinguish from the coronet marking, the pastern takes up where it leaves off. The white mark extends more than an inch above the hoof over the pastern but stops at or below the fetlock joint.

Fetlock or Boot

Taking up where the pastern leaves off, the fetlock white marking extends up over the fetlock joint up onto the cannon area.

Sock or High White

The sock white marking extends beyond the fetlock but doesn’t reach above the knee or hock of the animal.

my teachers say to never cite it because it's unreliable, but it's okay for a first quick check. If that info matches what two or three other sites say, it's probably accurate

Wikipedia is the worst resource you could use. Idk if you guys are being sarcastic, but believe nothing from that website

TGH

Shorting it to TGH or GH?

its faster to type that way

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)

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

yeah . . . why?

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

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

wait what? cool! I'm googling that

Did you know there is a TGH Wikipedia page?

yeah it is

It's usually pretty accurate

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

Ahh... Wikipedia that world's greatest resource

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.

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

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"

Lol

I love the brindles!!!!!

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

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
