I have a six year odl fell pony. She is unclipped and has a lovely thick winter coat, except for one bald patch on her hind quarters !!!
She is a bright bay, but the hair around this bald patch is black. This patch seems to be getting bigger :eek:
The skin underneath is normal no scabs, flakiness etc.
The bals area isn't anywhere that a rug can be rubbing, and I haven't seen her biting at herself or rubbing against a wall.
Any ideas? Would feel daft calling a vet out as in every other way she is fine.
By the way, she is only fed on haylage apples and a couple of carrots. Very good doer.
