I'd rather see time/effort put into basic grooming first (e.g., if your horse isn't already glossy, don't spend the time on quartermarks), but they can be a gorgeous final touch. I start by heavily fly-spraying the coat, then brushing it all in one direction. Then I take a short stiff brush and make a V on their hips, and then alternating diagonal sweeps on their haunches, so you get the sharks teeth pattern below. Finish with a vertical brush down the back to give a clean line.

When blood is the beverage of choice, the sharpest fangs feed first.

Anyone care to post pictures of your quarter marks?
