Boo!

Halloween may have passed, but these ghosts stick around all year long! Check out Tru Timin Dirt, a 2005 sorrel overo gelding owned by Brianna Slager of Zeeland, Michigan. Brianna writes, "The dark spots in the middle of the ghost are the eyes, and the white spreading are the arms."

Can you see it?
What about the ghost on Lees Cool Colours, a 2008 black tobiano stallion? "We can make out three different markings on our foal," writes Shaun Croft of Celle, Germany, who owns the colt. "The marking on his head is Casper the ghost, rising from his mouth up to his forehead."

It's a horse, of course

Thanks to everyone who sent me your Paint markings recently! I've had fun reading through all your stories, and I've compiled a few collections that you're sure to enjoy. And as always, if you haven't sent your Paint marking in but would like to, send it to mlarson@apha.com or APHA Connection, Attn: Megan Larson, 2800 Meacham Blvd., Fort Worth, Texas 76137.

Here is Susies Apache Summer, a 2002 bay tobiano gelding owned by Dennis and Danelle Cottrell of Berlin, Michigan. Danelle writes, "He has what looks like a horse's head on his right side."

"I think the image looks like a horse, but others have said a dragon or reindeer. What do you think?" asks Cherie Feldpausch of South Lyon, Michigan, about her 1997 sorrel overo gelding WF Cinnamon Toa Te.

Justarockin Sensation also has a horse on his side, but he's got something else too! "I think his spot looks like the side view of a horse with a rider aboard," writes Hays, Kansas, resident Karen Howland of her 2006 sorrel overo gelding.

Updates!

In case you haven't been checking, some additional Paint markings have been included on previous posts.

Check out these Native American chiefs and a little bit of the alphabet!

Keep your eye out for lots more this week. A little filly tells me there will be lots and lots of love to come, as well as a bunch of animals and maybe a horse or two!
