What About Your Horse's Whorl?
Can a hair swirl, or whorl, tell you anything about a horse's temperament? We delved into this question in our cover feature of the June 2008 issue of Horse & Rider magazine. As it turns out, many horsemen do believe in the predictive value of hair swirls and other physical characteristics, such as coat color.
