Characteristics
Skin Color
|
 |
The skin of a newborn
champagne is bright pink. As the foal ages, dark mottling
(freckles) will appear over the bright pink skin.
[SW "Bunny", Quarter Horse
mare] |

 |
One place to check skin
color and look for mottling is on the horse's head.
[Look A
Yonder,
Tennessee Walking Horse stallion] |

Skin color and mottling can
be observed around the eyes.
[Skip O Neill, Quarter Horse mare] |

Another place to look for
skin color is around the horse's sheath or private area.
[Brooke's Midas Touch, Tennessee Walking Horse
stallion] |

If you lift the horse's
tail, the skin can be observed clearly in the areas that have
no hair coverage. |
