1987 Foal with Offset Markings

Check out the offset star and snip on this otherwise solid chestnut foal! My friend Deb Noll took this picture on Assateague in 1987. Face markings are usually centered.

What caused this funky star and snip? Without knowing anything else about this foal or its parents I'd guess splashed white. It can do odd things to markings sometimes and can be used as an indicator of a pony having it. Looks like foal has hind socks too. Splashed white ponies are often seemingly solid and not visibly pinto. We're finding splashed white is pretty common in Chincoteague Ponies.

It could be another white/pinto pattern that is causing this markings weirdness, but without knowing more about this foal all I can do is guess!
