I went with an Indian theme. All the markings on the horse mean something.
The circle around her eye shows she has keen vision.
the arrow on her shoulder shows victory.
Thunder stripes are meant to please the Indian's God of war.
Arrowheads on all four hooves made the horse swift and nimble-footed.
Two crossing bars meant that the horse and his rider had escaped ambush.
Hoof prints were drawn on the horses and stood for the number of horses captured in raids.
The Pat Hand Print (left hand drawn on the right hip) was always reserved exclusively for the horse who had brought his master back home from a dangerous mission
unharmed.
hand prints were outlined upon the horse's chest, which showed that he'd knocked down an enemy.
