What breed of horse is marked like it was cut diagonally from its neck to it’s back legs?
Daystar asked:
I saw this horse on a British tv show. It wouldn’t jump over things and they were teaching it. Its markings looked like they were sprayed on.

I don’t think it’s a breed. It’s a color: brindle.*-http%253A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FSpecial%253aSearch&p=photos%2C+horses%2C+brindle
Or it could have been a “zorse”, a zebra-horse cross. They have striping, too.

It would have been a normal horse with a partial clip.
Sounds like a chaser clip.

Hard to tell from a description, but it certainly sounds like some variety of pinto. Perhaps a sabino, which is a roany marking. There are varietys of that, too: splash, where the white comes up the legs and looks like it’s been splashed up the belly and side like mud; frame, where the white frames the dark on the horse; and so on.
Or it could have been an unusually marked appaloosa blanket pattern. That’s a dark horse with a white top to the rump, which can extend up the back and down the sides and is often irregular.
Here’s some links:
A sabino:
A snowcap appaloosa:
I’m not aware of any particular named pattern with a diagonal marking, but any pinto or blanket ap might have a similar marking; they’re all more or less random.
The sabino pattern appears in most breeds; the appaloosa in only a few (appaloosa, pony of the americas, Knabstruper, etc.)
