Leg Markings

Most of us know that this is called a sock, but horse's leg

markings are a little bit more complex than that!

To correctly and accurately describe leg markings, we describe where on the leg they reach up
to....so the correct description for the picture above is “white to half cannon”

Look at the pictures below and match the description to the correct picture.

White to knee/hock (stocking)..........

Coronet.....................................
A B C
Half Pastern................................

Full cannon.................................

White heel..................................

Pastern......................................
D E F
Fetlock (sock)..............................

Half cannon................................

One other marking you may have noticed on


white legs is some black spots within the white
– these are called ermine marks (or ermine spots).

...and one more interesting thing! Have a look at different horse's hooves – what do
you notice that is different between horses who have white leg markings and those
that don't?
