Shoulder and neck markings
Shoulder and neck bars can be confused with the dark patches found on sooty,
or countershaded, horses. Try to look at a lot of each to see if you can
find the difference, or you will not be able to use it as a test for
"dun-ness" of a horse.

Ladybug's neck doesn't have visible markings, and her shoulder marking
is more like fine striping than barring. |
