Colours and Markings Detective

Bay, chestnut, grey, roan. Blazes, stars, socks and stockings. Learn to describe any horse exactly.

An identification project using the real vocabulary of horse passports. Children learn coat colours and face and leg markings, then use them to describe horses precisely enough that somebody else could pick them out of a herd.
