What they are called is based on how high up the leg they come. This list is by no means comprehensvie since there can be significant variation in the amount
of white present in a certain location.
The names are based on the common names associated with a horse's leg.
Starting from the lowest part of the leg:
Coronet (white around the top of the hoof in a thin band around the
coronet band.)
Half pastern (white that comes halfway up the pastern)
Pastern (white that covers the whole pastern but remains below the ankle)
Ankle sock (white that extends up onto the ankle)
Half sock (white that comes up onto the cannon about half way)
Sock (white that is higher than midway on the cannon but does not
extend above the hock or knee)
Stocking (white extends onto or above the hock or knee)
