IMO They look different. The scarring looks almost roaned in areas, where this is clearly VERY solid splashes of white. The scarring looks like someone dropped paint on her, but then rubbed some of it off, smearing it and smudging it. The OP horse looks like someone dropped paint on her and left it.
It could be the same thing, but IMO its different.

Here are other images of him. I see SS and the color of the mare above as caused by the same thing. Especially with how it formed around the face and limits itself mostly to the main body and head.

I personally think this one is also caused by fungal scars.

It's not terribly rare and can manifest in different presentation from solid white spots. In the case of Simply Striking he was well cared for but he still got a fungal infection through no fault of the owners. Not sure exactly what kinds cause it. Here are a couple others.

I don't know if you guys have ever looked at goats. And I don't know why it didn't occur to me before. But she looks like what they call Dappled in Boer Goats.

Has anyone actually seen
Has anyone actually seen these fungal infections on these horses? Some of them I can see as having been the result of fungal infections. But the others which are so round or oval in shape I have speculations. Specially after talking to a Boer breeder and having them tell me that some of their stock develop the white spots with age.
please help if you
please help if you can

When I lived at a riding
When I lived at a riding stables all the horses caught ringworm and had it really bad as they were slack and didn't bother treating them properly for ages. Some of them were ridden with bad infections and their skin was hanging of in bloody rags. They did end up treating them properly and the infection cleared up, by the next moult there was no sign at all any of them had had it, nothing, not even slight marks or anything.
Wow that is different.
