Shoulder and neck markings

These are usually blurry, widest at the mane, where they begin, and gradually tapering to invisibility as they stretch down the neck or shoulder.


Shoulder and neck bars can be confused with the dark patches found on sooty, or (counter)shaded, horses.  Try to look at a lot of each type, to see if you can find the difference, or you will not be able to use it as a test for "dun-ness" of a horse.
