A strip, usually called a stripe, is a narrow stripe of white hair that runs down the front of the horse's face. It is often confused with a blaze but the two are different. A lot of times the stripe will be joined by a star at the top and a snip on the lower nose. This combination is ofter called a "star-stripe-snip". When the white markings are wide it is called a "blaze". If the white extends over the eyes at the top and over the nostrils at the bottom it is called a "bald or apron". The bald/apron pattern is very common in the Paint breed and Pinto color. Sometimes the whole head will be white except the ears. This is called a "medicine hat". To certain tribes of American Indians medicine hats where highly prized and were be thought to have mystic powers.

Can you wash a horse with your shampoo?

Only use horse soap to wash your horse. Other soaps can strip your horse of his natural oils that make him shiny and protect him. I know most human shampoos will dry out the skin of most animals. Some may even cause your horse to have allergic reactions, rashes, etc. So, only use horse shampoo on your horse just to be safe. How would our shampoo strip a horse of its natural oils!? Uhhh, hello, we have natural oils in our hair too, so your saying we our selves shouldn't use our shampoo! Well, that's a new one, tell me when it's on the news, cause I sure as heck haven't seen it there! I suggest Dawn dish soap it works awesome on horses especially white horses!
