RE: [RC] white spots appearing on a chestnut mare - Libby & Quentin Llop DVM
They
are called birdcatcher spots after an English TB of that name who had
them. Our chestnut TB mare developed them at age 12. She is a descendent
of Birdcatcher though. Libby

Hey equine lovers:
I have a chestnut Arabian mare who is getting
small white spots (it is the hair turning white with nothing unusual under the
hair) on her body, face and legs. I am baffled as to why??? She
appears to be fine and still goes down the trail as if nothing is wrong.
My horses are out 24-7 and do have a run-in area of the barn to use as desired
and always have water from an ever running stream. It is a mystery to
me. Any suggestions. My vet is coming one day rather soon for
dental work and sheath cleaning so she'll view this.....am very curious
though.
To make this endurance related, I donate the
turtle awards at the Old Dominion Endurance Rides.
