“…The majority of horse breeds are presently being selectively improved for qualities related to beauty and performance, with appearance being the primary focus (12). In some countries, they are primarily restricted to the sports, hippotherapy, scientific studies, and recreation industries, although they continue to play important roles in other countries, such as providing transportation, plowing force, meat, milk, hair, and leather (2,3,6,9,11,14,15,17).

Horses, used for various purposes for centuries, are today commonly used for sporting purposes. It is critical to identify the horses that are used in this way by using the coat color and markings on the horse. The animal material for this research consisted of 101 Arabs and 206 Thoroughbreds. The most common coat color was BAY (56.6%). The least common coat colors were BLACK (0.3%) and DUN (0.3%). The presence of head marks on horses rated 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, and the rate of presence of the head mark were 17.2%, 29.2%, 7.5%, 6.8%, 26.0%, and 13.3%, respectively. When examining leg markings, the most common mark was the half-stocking (16.9%) on the left back leg, while the stocking (1.3%) was the least frequent mark on the front right leg. According to the findings of the study, which was conducted to analyze the condition of Arab and Thoroughbred horses, bay was the most common coat color seen in horses in general. Consequently, this situation is due to the preferences of breeders and horse owners.
