...and not only that - somebody had once posted a spotted Fjord here on this board, which looks just like that - including the white face. And in return the old cave-paintings in France display spotted horses with the same regular, even pattern. I had always thought those spots were too evenly placed to be of LP-origin:

Interesting that they say that the horse was a normal chestnut until it turned 2 yrs old. I am pretty sure it is the same one that was in the OP, as my friend, Dee Dee Murray) that took the photo lives in Washington and the horse for sale was in Oregon, but I am not 100% sure since pics are gone from CL.
