Inka has this and I'm curious as to what it is?
I thought at first was just part of her coloured gene? But it's raised in the middle like a lump, do horses get moles?
Was trying to photograph from the side so that you can see it's raised but it's hard to see it.
The black hairs in the middle are a different texture than the body hair.
Is it just a coloured 'bit', her sire was 50% skewbald cob. She also has some white hairs at the top of her tail.

| It could well be a scar from when she was very young that didnt heal properly and left the hair follicles damaged which resulted in a slight change of colour and a raised area ?, I wouldn't worry about it unless it was causing her any problems , it might even be an old sarcoid that had healed leaving the skin slightly scarred ? |

It never even crossed my mind that it could be an old injury, probably because of it's position  but given she's young, inquisitive and bold it probably is  Thank you!

| long time ago I know but was looking at some old posts and wondered if Inka's mark had changed at all or just stayed a mystery? |

Yes, I agree I think it may well be an old scar. Sibby ( my grey) has lots of rough brownish patches from when he was attacked by that rough stallion last year |

Hi, forgot about posting this! Yep, mark is still there and still the same. I'm now convinced it is indeed an old injury, probably a bite as she's a right cheeky
