Rodney has little white spots on his coat. I was this many years old when I learned these are called Birdcatcher spots. Equine Ink: The Mystery of Birdcatcher Spots: Fleeting Markings with a Storied Past.

Glad my post helped you identify the spots! I learned from another reader they can also be darker than the coat, rather than white.
From what little I know of the subject, coat genetics are complicated.
I’ve seen these spots before and had no idea what they were — possibly a fungus? Thanks for sharing. MM

Interesting read (about the spots.)
So much interesting stuff out there.
