Why do most horses have a white patch on their nose?



Answers:
White markings anywhere on a horse's body is down to genetics and the position the foetus is lying in the womb. That is why when you have twin foals (which is VERY rare by the way) they never have identical markings.

For your information:

A white mark between the nostrils is called a snip;
A white mark between the eyes is called a star;
A white line down the middle of the face is a blaze
If the white line is very wide (covering most of the face), then the horse is simply described as having a white face.

White marks up to the horse's fetlocks (or ankles) are called socks;
White marks up to the horse's knee are called stockings;
If the white goes higher than the knee, then they have white legs.

Some stallions have a tendency to sire horses with particular markings. For example, the great Sadler's Wells produces a lot of horses with a blaze.
Genetic lottery, I guess.you must just be looking at the right pictures, because not all horses have facial markings.
