Unlucky and lucky signs in horse lore from Arab tales
The text describes how white stockings on a horse are valued culturally, with one to three stockings worth coins and four stockings implying a grave omen. It explains hair twists as speed indicators and marks such as two hair twists above the forehead called an open grave. Signs on the neck may be lucky or unlucky depending on curl direction, and a bay horse is deemed fastest. A tale of a sheik and his white mare illustrates speed and pursuit across color-changing pursuers.
