>>> i wonder if that's to prevent sunburn on a white face marking? Seems like half the horses at our barn have burned markings right now...
Two words: Zinc oxide! The cheapest way to buy it is to get the generic version of Desitin diaper rash cream from somewhere like Sam's Club. I put a dollop in my palm and add a drop of baby oil to make it more spreadable. Gracie has a wide white blaze, and the Zinc oxide REALLY helps. The other thing that helps is the extended length fly mask - but you can see the "tan mark" where it ends. (Actually it would be great if she would tan instead of just burn.) Yep, in the summer, I can see why the QH people don't like too much white on the horses. That had to be a major drawback when they were mostly working cow horses on the un-shaded plains...
