Good riding aims to help transfer some of the animal s body weight back, getting the horse off the forehand, but some riding disciplines require a greater amount of this transfer of weight or collection horse collection than others. Sports such as dressage and show jumping require some of the greatest transfers of weight, while others, such as western pleasure , require a great deal less.

Certain equine conformation conformational faults will encourage a horse to travel on the forehand, thereby making it more difficult for a rider to attain the shift in weight although talented riders can usually train any horse to travel better with enough time .

Bend Or spots or Ben d Or, Smuts, or Grease Spots are a type of spotted horse markings marking found on horses. They are fairly rare and range in color from slightly darker than the horse s coat to an almost black shade. These random spots are most commonly seen on palomino s, chestnut coat chestnuts , and darker horses, and may not appear until the horse is several years old. It is still unknown what causes these markings, as they do not appear to be related to other spotting patterns. However, they are often correlated with horses showing sooty gene sooty traits. Unrelated patterns may be confused with Bend Or spots. Some roan horse roan horses have patches of darker hairs called corn marks or corn spots. While these resemble Bend Or spots, they are linked to solid colored hair growing in over minor cuts or scratches to the skin, and thus the underlying genetic cause appears to be unrelated. Another pattern seen primarily in some gray horse gray horses is dappling, the presence of darker hairs in round shapes against a lighter hair coat. However, dapples are an intermediate stage of the graying process, and will only last a few years.
