What is referred to when a stripe or blaze is described as "interrupted"?

When a stripe or blaze is described as "interrupted," it specifically refers to the pattern being broken or not forming a continuous line. This means that instead of being a solid stripe from one end to the other, there are gaps or breaks in the marking. This terminology is often used in describing the markings on a horse’s face, particularly how the white markings may appear in segments rather than as a unbroken stripe.

The other choices do not accurately capture this definition. A solid line would indicate continuity without breaks, variations in width would refer to changes in size, and asymmetry would describe a lack of balance or symmetry, none of which relate to the concept of interruption in the marking.
