What are Quarter Marks?

Quarter marks are patterns brushed into a horses’ hind quarters. Quarter marks are used in the show ring, and are often seen on hacks, show ponies, riding horses and sometimes hunters, show hunter ponies and cobs. There are different designs from small squares for show ponies and show hacks, and bold, plain hunter marks for hunters, show cobs and competition horses. Which design to choose depends on your horse’s build and confirmation, and the class chosen to compete in.

Why Use Quarter Marks?

Quarter marks are used to draw the judge’s eye to the powerful hind quarters of your horse. By choosing the right size and type of quarter marks, it can really enhance good hind quarters, or even distract the eye from conformation issues.
