Title: Add randomized patterns to horses (socks and face markings)

Hi!
I really love horse training aspect of the game, but can't help but notice how dull the coats get after a while - you've seen that color once, you've seen them all. That's why I want to propose an addition of randomized markings showing up on a horse, for example:
You encounter a wild black 5 tier horse. Normally it would be fully black, but it could have a chance of having white socks or white stripe on the head or both (or none like default).
The same goes for breeding. After the horse got it's tier and base coat, it rolls for markings and either gets some or it does not.
It would add a lot of variety to the mounts and bring something fresh and fun to the breeding/catching horses when you hunt for your favourite pattern combination. The markings wouldn't have any influence on the stats like base coats do and would be purely cosmetic.
It doesn't have to be data-heavy - it could be implemented as true/false flags for the markings or string of characters if you went with more than one option per spot (like short and long socks) so it shouldnt't cause any problems with loading times of the horse coat or bloat the texture files that much.
This is a really cool idea! It would make things more exciting trying to get the pattern you want on a certain color/breed. It would feel rewarding too, when you finally catch the one you were looking for! Lots of collection potential as well! I would love this :D.

That's what I had in mind suggesting this! I would be a lot more motivated to invest my time in a horse because it looks nicer than just hoping to get that 0.1 higher in the stats comapred to the old one.
It might also make the horse market a bit less stale, because after the wild tiers update it became absolutely flooded with T5 noone is buying befor new ones are regsitered.
