<I just

area. They just recently <showed up when she shed out her winter
coat. I see <them on both sides of the loin behind the
withers. I <know that they are likely due to a problem with

Peter,
Not neccessarily. My girlfriend has a
chestnut and it's getting big white spots on its neck, belly and back. Since
some of the places are not where a saddle even touches it she asked her vet who
said a change in hormones can cause white spots. I have a grey who is getting
big 2" brown spots in places where the saddle doesn't touch. Both our
horses are 10 yrs. old. We just kid around that our horses are too close and
rubbing off on each other. Go figure.
