When you see a horse who has white hairs from tack or harness, it isn't
particularly subtle.

Dusty, a grade driving pony, came to us with white hair (lots of it) where a
crupper would have rested and also where the saddle part of the harness
would sit.

Twist, the OT Standardbred has white hairs on his legs where the track
hobbles probably rested.

And a friend's endurance horse has nasty white patches on either side of his
spine, just behind the withers.  I know we all make mistakes and I surely
have made my share, but I really  would feel awful  if I were using tack
that fitted so poorly  that my horse ended up with permanent white patches -
proof forever of my error.
