In reply to Susan.

Susan– First, you are referring to the “thumbprint of Allah”– that in the Arabian world is thought to mean those horses are blessed. My 5 year old Arabian mare, whom I foaled, has a double whorl, and nothing bothers her– cars, trucks, cows, llamas, kids, bikes, guns, rattlesnakes, semis, tractors, gunshots…My 8 year old gelding, who also has a double whorl, is used by a local program for beginner disabled riders. Wondering how much of your horse’s “issues” were caused by the rider…

What about whirls on the flanks? I’m buying 2 fjord horses currently and the filly has whirls on each of her flanks what does this indicate? Never seen it before usually looks more like a cow lick upwards

Ha! I ride the sweetest mare in the world – guess where her whorl is? Yep – right in the middle of her eyes!!

I was going to mention reading Linda Tellington Jones studies on whorls – Patricia beat me to it. Linda covers various types and info – great reading and over the years I’ve found it to be helpful (and is usually right on)

Linda Tellington Jones also did a study why not check out her book on it and other features that tell characteristics of equines….

I was told by a lady that the closer the whirl is right between the eyes, the calmer and less excitable the horse. my mare is pretty much bombproof, so I went and looked at her and it is almost right between her eyes. So in my case, it was totally true.

I had an Arabian mare with two whorls on her forehead which I was told were called Mohammad’s thumbprints, and that having two of them wasn’t a good sign. Reactive doesn’t begin to describe her.

Hm.
What about horses without whorls
