Quote from this source, page 80:
Even more positive identification is required by some registries: lip tattoos, photographs of a horse's "fingerprints" (unique patterns of the chestnuts (night eyes) that are found on the insides of the legs), and blood typing. Muscular dimples, cowlicks (hair swirls), scars, or brands should also be described and located on the sketch.

This phrase horny epithelium should be worked into this article as it occurs in a number of works. Eg:
Small round or oval plates of horny epithelium called " chestnuts," callosities growing like the hoof from enlarged papillae of the skin, are found on the inner face of the fore-arm, above the carpal joint in all species of Equidae, and in the horse (E. caballus) similar structures occur near the upper extremity of the inner face of the metatarsus. They are evidently rudimentary structures which it is suggested may represent glands (Lydekker, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1903, vol. i.).

The picture supposedly show the chestnut of a horse is not a chestnut of a horse.
From what I can see, the lesion is on the OUTSIDE of the horse's front leg and is ABOVE the knee. It appears to be an old wound that has developed "proud flesh".
A horse's chestnut is on the INSIDE of the leg and BELOW the knee. It is made of of keratin like material, fairly smooth when not peeling or shedding a layer and is much smaller than the lesion in the picture provided. Zoongitozi ( talk) 11:57, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
