Tabard on Chestnut

Unmarked Tabard on Flaxen Chestnut

Tabard on Ombre Cream Ether

Tabard causes a gradient that subtly lightens one half of the horse and subtly darkens the other half.
This gradient can split the horse front-to-back or top-to-bottom, but will never split the horse's centerline right-to-left.
Sometimes, contrasting markings are reflected across the gradient's center. These markings are always mirror images of each other, and should use colors already present in the Tabard (i.e. the darker symbol should be the same color as the dark end of the gradient, and vice versa).

These markings are often strangely geometric, resembling emblems or coats-of-arms, but can also be more natural-looking stripes or spots.
Tabard cannot create: Religious symbols, offensive or hateful symbols, or lettering in any language.
