The markings on a horse, on its head or legs, don't *mean* anything, anymore than the stripes on a zebra or the color of your hair.
Soring is something that is done to show horses. It involves inflicting pain on them, on purpose, to exaggerate the leg movements on gaited horses. It is both unethical and illegal.
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)

Never. Bare toes are best!
There is no purpose to a coronet band. It is a marking on a horses leg on the very bottom by the fetlock. It is just another marking on a horse just like a star, blaze, face mask, sock, or stocking.
A horses leg is called a leg, but it has several names for different areas of the leg like cannon, hock and gaskin.
A crew length sock runs around the middle calf of a persons leg. They run around 4.23 inches in length from the base of the foot to the top of the sock.
It means left sock, right sock, left shoe, right shoe
Horses do not have toes, they have 1 hoof on each leg.
