[Raine Ranch Minis]

Maybe a Ben Dore or Ben D'ed (sp) spot?

Something like that.

We had a palomino that did the same thing. Nothing for years and then -BINGO!- charcoal like spotting that appeared over the next couple years. He ended up looking like a strange appaloosa on his rump (no app in the background!).

I found these articles.. Bend-or spots... named after a horse... looks like the same kind of spot your horse has.. Also called grease spots.

Never heard of it before... googled and thought this was a cool article. Learn something new every day...

The term "bend'or" spot is from the name of a TB racehorse named "Bend'Or", a sorrel(or chestnut, probably, in TB terminology)who had those 'brownish' spots scattered within his coat. I am not sure they are called that in palominos, but I do know that I have seen other palominos with such spots. Seems they are usually on the rump, and a horse may have more than one, though they are not numerous.You might find out more from a website about Palominos.

Certainly it is nothing to worry about!

"No app in the background", I say "HA" to that with Miniatures, as it is rarely KNOWN. The totally born with a huge blanket appy mare in my avatar is out of a mare that snowflaked in her fifth year. That mare, (her dam) had not one "appy" in HER background either...but there were plenty of "gray" and "roan" horses miraculously appearing, with no roan or gray parents. Obviously they were appy, but the breeders didn't know what they were looking at, and mis-coloured them on their papers.

thanks for sharing information everyone it is helpful

 

[MBhorses]

my horse pedigree i didn't see any appys in pedigree i would love photos of some of his family

My palomino appy has numreous dark brown spots on his hindquarters in summer, most of them are not obvious in winter. I credit them to his appaloosa genes. Another of our palominos, Classy, who is not known to have appy breeding (and almost certainly does not have appy breeding since neither his sire nor dam have ever had any appy offspring) has one lone brown spot on his rump. I would call that a Bend'Or spot.

To see a picture of a pally with lots of Bend Or Spots go to the bottom of this page. http://www.whitehorseproductions.com/tbcolor3.html

Smut marks or Bendo spots are dark spots that appear on horses of any color, but usually show up on palomino or chestnut. They can range from coin size to large patches. They are also very common in ponies such as the Welsh.

This will happen on diets wirh high protein on palominos. Nothing bad.

I have a mare that has one of these spots. Looks like we forgot to clean it off when we show her. She did not have it as a weanling, but it showed up last spring as a yearling. No appy backround here since she is foundation shetland and there is no appy backround in any of the foundation shetland line.

So OK, Sue C.; no known appaloosa as far as the bloodlines we had available. No I don't have the resources to dig further. Didn't matter to me-it was a gelding. So I missed a few words-'as far as we knew'. Sorry!
