In this excerpt from the October 2018 episode of Ask the Vet (https://www.smartpakequine.com/learn-health/video/what-are-birdcatcher-spots-on-horses), Dr. Lydia Gray and SmartPaker Dan answer a viewer question about a sorrel horse who has little white spots all over him. Dr. Gray explains what they are, what they are called, if they should worry you (they shouldn’t), and why not a whole lot is known about them. Dan even comes up with a great way to think about them! To see more from our Ask the Vet video series, you can check them out on the SmartPak blog (https://www.smartpakequine.com/blog), SmartPak's Horse Health Library (https://www.smartpakequine.com/learn-health/health-library), or on our Ask the Vet playlist (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfYc1fRT-Znh7r1veIfAzMUHd-AsA85sY). Happy learning and #haveagreatride.
