Far as I remember, "way back when" a grey war mare was speared quite   
badly in the shoulder during battle, but still carried her   
injured/unconscious owner home, where he was treated and cared for.  When   
the mare was bred, she had a grey foal with a red splotch on her shoulder   
in the exact place mom was injured.  All horses with this red splotch on   
their shoulder can trace their lines to this war mare.

I saw a newly released Breyer model horse named after the "Legend of the
Bloody Shoulder Arabian"  Does anyone know of this legend?
