white markings
Light-colored animal patches
White markings are the patches of white coloring on an animal's coat, particularly horses and dogs.
In horses, specific patterns have traditional names: a blaze runs down the face, a star sits on the forehead, socks or stockings cover the lower legs.
Breeders and registries use white markings to identify individual animals: The mare has four white stockings and a narrow blaze.
