I dont know about all of you, but I absolutely love face white on horses! I dont care if it is a star, snip, blaze, bald face, or irregular markings, I just think it adds character! Here are some of my faces, lets see all of yours!

Belle-forgive her dirtiness, she had just rolled LOL!

We don't have alot of face white here but I love it

Our stallion Little Kings Buckeroo Buzz-Palomino

he has a skinny blaze and snip and 4 white socks but hard to see with his winter woolies.

And our Gelding GG's little prince Zippo- Bay Pinto-with a snip

Here is my favorite face white born here our 2005 colt Eagles Ring Toyhorse I'm Smokin

alas we sold him. But I still miss that cute little white nose.

Mape Hollow - I love your "Buttons"'s face marking!

Here are the few of mine that have face white...

"Finess" - Buckeroo grandaughter...half of her white is covered by her forelock

I *love* face white too.

Here are a few of ours:

This is Magic Mist Blazing Illusion, he's been sold but is still here for a little while longer. It's interesting, his dam has no face white at all but HER dam has a blaze. Do they skip a generation?

This is the mare that started most of the blazes around here, our beloved Wild Winds Frost Fire with one of her foals, Magic Mist Remember Me

It's not letting me add more to this post, will have to do an additional one to add a few more.
 
Great pictures so far!!! Thanks High Meadow and you can send any of those gorgeous girls to me!!! Lori, we have a colt born this year with a very similar face marking, just dont have the pic uploaded anywhere to post it. Magic the overo gene causing the blazes actually can "skip" a generation, overo carriers dont have to show the genes to carry them like tobianos do. Pretty babies though!!!

Thanks for the info, Maple Hollow! What about sabino, does it do the same as overo? The mare that started all of this is an appy with sabino, but I guess it's possible that she has other patterns in the mix, I just don't see any (not that overo is always visible.)

This is a son of that mare, sired by a solid stallion

Oh for heaven's sake, it won't let me post the pic of his daughter, that extension is not allowed? It's just a pic from my website like all the others. I'm hopeless with that sort of thing, that's why I don't do my own website, sigh...

Fine, I'll try a pic of another granddaughter of Frost's, she's out of the same visually-solid mare as the silvery blazed colt, though the pic doesn't show her blaze as well

Appy AND sabino in the same horse can really confuse the issue, lol! We have more lots more blazes, stars, and snips in our herd. Love 'em all.

I cant say about sabino, I think it is mainly a modifier but not sure if it can skip or not, my sabino overo mare Freckles (pictured in my second post) has only had one foal so far that also was sabino so not sure. Is the appy w/sabino tested sabino or could it be appy roaning and not sabino? Just curious, genetics fascinate me! That baby is adorable too!!!

I like chrome, but ended up buying many without facial markings.

Love Topper's face white:

Topper - Aug 17, 2011 - front.jpg

Showy has a bit:

Honey has a little:

Misty has a cute streak on her face:

Dolly and Bonny are cremello, so don't know if they have face white; Dakota has a faint star (so faint it barely shows); Tana has a tiny star (almost considered faint); Caddy is such a pale palomino that her face white barely shows (she has a narrow blaze); Jasper has no face white, neither does Che`, and Baybe is so new, I don't have a pic of her face.
 
Well here ia my little 2011 doll that not only has a whole lot of face white, but a whole lot of white everywhere! You can see her pretty dam's face in the background:

Some more of her dam's face-she is one oft favorite mares:

Not the best picture, but her sire:

Daisy Mae-a bit chubby lol

Daffodil-a chestnut sabino daughter of Daisy. Love this picture, she has the most beautiful eyes i've ever seen:

Frankie, our orphan baby. He was a bay splash overo with eyes that went right through you.

Terrible picture, but this is Shazam, the almost all who're filly's full brother (he is just a day old here):

I don't have good pictures to show Phantoms neat face markings, but here is one that Marcy Barber took of him (he has one blue eye too):

And more! This will be last, promise! P.s.-please excuse any spelling errors, i'm on my phone

After a good rain, so all muddy of course

It was a LOT of rain, excuse the huge puddles

We have lots and lots of face white here-i think we only have a few that don't have any and they are my apps. Love it!
 
I think all except one of our 10 minis has SOME face white, so I will only post a few. They range from a tiny, tiny, pink spot on Rusty's lower lip, to stars, strips, snips, and full blazes.

You can't really see Rusty's spot here, but you can see Taffy's star.

rustyandtaffy052-1.jpg


Buckshot - strip & snip (guessing splash because he is LWO-)

Ruby's blaze (she could be LWO+ but not tested):

Rubyhead_foal_350.jpg


Just found a photo of Dancer I could edit - I think her face makings are the most interesting in our herd (she could be LWO+ too but not tested):
