Quarter Mark Horse Comb

Yes, you can! However, winter coats are thicker and fluffier, so you'll need to dampen the hair more thoroughly to help it lie flat. Using an oil-based mixture will help smooth the coat, making it easier to apply quarter marks. We recommend using our Pre-Mixed Essential Oil Coat Conditioner or making your own with our Essential Oil Coat Conditioner.

No. Quarter marks require the hair to be long enough to brush into a pattern, and clipped coats are generally too short for the marks to hold effectively.

Summer coats work best as the hair is thin and short but still long enough to be brushed into defined patterns.

Make sure the hair is lying flat, and finish with a strong-hold product like our Quarter Mark Spray. This helps lock the pattern in place.

Not at all! Quarter marks are purely cosmetic and completely painless. You're simply brushing the hair in different directions to create light-and-dark patterns. 

Apply them as a finishing touch just before you get on your horse so they look fresh and sharp in the ring.

With practice, quarter marks can take just a few minutes to apply!

Absolutely! Quarter marks are a fun and creative way to showcase your horse’s coat and hindquarters, suitable for all disciplines.

Simply brush the coat and the marks will disappear.

Yes, but they're more visible on darker coats due to the way light reflects. For lighter coats, ensure the patterns are sharp and finish with a gloss or shimmer spray for better definition.

This often comes down to coat quality. A sleek, shiny, and fine coat gives the best results. If you're struggling to see the marks, try dampening the coat more thoroughly.

For patterns like bars, crowns, or squares, stand on a stool to get a bird’s-eye view. Start from the top of the horse's rump and work down evenly on both sides.
