Ok, thanks for that... She only has those 2 small spots & 2 on the edge of her hoof.

[color=#0000BF]Your little filly is very cute! I had a bay Quarter Horse mare that had tons of them on both her back feet. They are very unusual looking aren't they. Lol. I also remember seeing quite a few Quarter horses as well as Paints with them...so I would definitely say not pinto related. :) I think even 2 or 3 of my quarter horses I have now have them. Thanks for posting this thread...very interesting to find out what it is that actually causes it and if its something that can be passed.[/color]

I have found that tobianos tend to have solid chestnuts/ergots and splashes tend to have white.[/quote]
I've noticed that same after MP mentioned it. Sabino seems more random?
The spots that aren't connected to the hoof or chestnut (what were they called? distals? fever scrambling my head) I think are the ones caused by a white supressor.

IMO (And others) its a sign of white suppression.
