[RC] Gray Arab losing pigment - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Jenny Powers jmpowers@xxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

See www.thehorse.com and search article #4324
Loss of pigment is called vitiligo, it is idiopathic (no apparent cause) and is 
cosmetic only. My chestnut Arab has changing spots of pigment loss around his 
eyes and on his muzzle. Sometimes the spots are the size of a nickel, others 
are tiny dots. They come and go. It is harmless. Please read the article for 
reassurance and discuss with your vet.
