Would quarter marks look ridiculous on a mostly white paint? He’s white all over except a small circle around his tail and down one hind…
Thanks deltawave!
I’d love to see examples of the sharks teeth quartermarks everyone is talking about.

On a pinto, sometimes you can do really pretty sharks teeth down their haunches. We used to do that on my advanced horse and it was lovely. All depends on how they’re colored though - need a decent sized patch of the same color.
I also don’t tend to like stencils unless there’s a specific connection with the horse/rider, but love the look of freehand sharks’ teeth on a shiny bay. I’d rather see time/effort put into basic grooming first (e.g., if your horse isn’t already glossy, don’t spend the time on quartermarks), but they can be a gorgeous final touch. I start by heavily fly-spraying the coat, then brushing it all in one direction. Then I take a short stiff brush and make a V on their hips, and then alternating diagonal sweeps on their haunches, so you get the sharks teeth pattern below. Finish with a vertical brush down the back to give a clean line.[/QUOTE]

Anyone care to post pictures of your quarter marks?:yes:
Here is the image of my logo that I turned into a quarter mark for my own horse…

Here is the quarter mark on HRH at AEC’s this year. I need to make a larger stencil so it will be more visible. This was the first one I did and was kind of a prototype so not perfect…

I also made one of a friend’s logo that I posted in an earlier comment but here it is again…

And here is the red horse sporting some stripes before I started making custom markers…

And lastly, here is a new custom one I just finished for another friend of her logo. I don’t have any pics of it on a horse yet but here is the stencil…
