Re: [RC] RE -rescue mare with scratches and strange butt cheek - heidi larsonmy gelding has one about halfway down his buttcheek and I had another horse that had one on his neck. About the size of a thumbprint. In fact, they are referred to as Prophet's Thumbprint! Here's the story associated with them! They are supposed to represent good luck or a good horse! A dent in the horse's body, often occuring on the neck or chest. It is said that Mohammed once tested his Arabian horses by depriving them of water for several days. He then let them all free near a watering hole, and they rushed to drink. Before they reached the water, he sounded his trumpet to call them, and only 5 mares returned. These 5 loyal mares were cherished and kept for breeding, the only ones fit to pass on their bloodlines. It is said that he pressed his thumb into their necks, marking them. Horses with thumbprints are thought to be good horses. heidi and Ash (kalasha) --- Esprech@xxxxxxx wrote: is he butt cheek just an indentation?
