Yes Patti Jo .. I've seen this on some of my horses from time to time .. and I remember Julie Will and I had a big discussion about it. I think she sent some hair samples off to a lab for testing .. nothing. It strikes me that I haven't seen it on my horses for the last couple of years .. and I wonder why? Nor can I remember if it was more prevalent in the winter, than the summer. I know it wasn't straight dust/dirt because it didn't wash out . . definitely looked like mites or something .. but wasn't. Now I'm curious and I"ll check everyone out this morning when I'm doing chores (why don't we spell it "chorse?). I never found a vet who had an explanation either. It's more visible on a white mane - maybe all horses have damage to the hairs in their mane and we can't see it? Like split ends? Cheryl Beillard Wake-Robin Farm Fjords www.wakerobinfarm.ca
