WHORLS
Thank you to Michelle Smith who has a Book on Whorls.

We have recently had several horses attend clinics here with Two Whorls.. I personally have bred 2 Foals with double whorls (one Eye level and 1 High) and this was very interesting to discuss our opinions on their personalities.

This is how they are described as a result of a study! However there is a difference between eye level Whorls... one above the other Whorls and low set Whorls.

A horse with two high tight whorls side by side is both left and
right-brain. They seem to possess an ability to hyperfocus. Tough
smart, and intent on their job, they are a super power in the right
hands. Although these horses are bold and brave, they are also
sensitive enough that riders who don't acknowledge their superior
intellect can offend them and have a fight on their hands.

A snippet from another site..

If the whorl sits to the left as you face the horse, then the horse will be a bit more complicated, but still trustworthy and willing.
A whorl located between the eyes indicates an easy going, willing horse.
Whorls higher on the forehead represent intelligence and a more reactive nature.
If it sits to the right, the horse will is thought to be less cooperative.
Long whorls, especially those that drop below the eye indicate a friendly personality.
Multiple whorls can resemble multiple personalities. If they are more high and side by side whorls can indicate a horse that is very focused and talented, but challenging if in the wrong hands. Two whorls on top of each other can indicate personality swings and unpredictability.
A single whorl below the eyes indicate intelligent and imaginative horses that like to amuse or entertain themselves. They are the escape artists of the barn, the clowns, the entertainers, and they are known to get into everything they aren't supposed to.
Whorls that form a “Z pattern” it is supposed to indicate that the horse dangerous and violent.
The direction that the whorl turns can indicate if the horse is right or left “handed”. If the whorl goes counterclockwise it is left “handed”. If the whorl goes clockwise it is right “handed”.
