Rare Horse Colors and Unusual Patterns

Peacock Spots or Inkspots

Peacock Spots or Inkspots
An unusual variation of leopard spots on horses, like those found on some Appaloosas and Knabstruppers, are peacock spots. Peacock spots are dark spots that have a halo of white hair around them, making them look the pattern on a peacock's tail feathers. The darker the base coat color of the horse, the more obvious the patterning is.
