Possible Age Spots on a G3 (pic heavy)

(1/3) > >>

Mlp Sunsparkle:
Hi everyone!
I wanted to show and ask your thoughts on my Spring Breeze. I must’ve got her in about 2012 ish, and these spots were present. I cannot remember whether there are more than there used to be, but I feel like they haven’t gotten worse over time.

They are dark green dots with a lighter green, blurry ring around them. They are exactly like the brown dots with the dark centres seen on g1, however they are green. I also have a G3 Bow Tie with just one of these spots.

Another thing to note is that the bottom of 3 of her hooves have significantly lightened and now have a greenish hue to them. Her nds front hoof is the only one not affected, and this leg has the least spots on too. Her head is totally unaffected, but her neck seam also seems a little greenish too, like her hooves.

I have put a bright light under her hooves to check her insides and there are some dark patches, but also unusually light areas, so I’m unsure on the darkness, but the light patches are probably just thin plastic.

Here are some images of the spots:

I really hope She’s just from a bad batch, in 2012 she would’ve only been 8!

What do you all think? Thank you for any suggestions!

Well, that's odd. '-' Are you sure it isn't mold or something ? Maybe mold developed as your pony was left in the darkness or something ? I'd be tempted to really check inside if anything organic didn't develop inside as you say her neck seal is also affected. =/ Is there any change in hue at the base of her tail ? Something leaking out or what ?
Hope it's not that bad. =/

Have a good day.

I’m not sure if it’s mould, it’s possible! It doesn’t wipe off though, and when I’ve had mould growing on a pony, it’s always washed right off. The only problem with looking inside is that the spring basket ponies are covered in glue! There’s so much that it’s all over her neck!  :blink:

There’s no change in the colour of her tail. If it weren’t for these spots, she’d be mint!  :cry: the odd thing is that I got her in a lot of ponies who were all near mint, except her spots and another had a red mark. Some still had the plastic in their hair!

Thank you so much  ^.^

I'm still a newbie regarding "pony diseases", it could be age spots indeed since I guess mold should be wiped off pretty easily. For the neck seal, it's technically always possible to remove the head anyway, just have to be very careful not to cut or tear the vinyl with your tool, patient and keeping the neck hot to loosen the glue.

You're welcome, I guess, since I'm not much help at all. ^^

I just wanted to say that you definitely are helping me!  ^.^ Any and all advice/ideas are useful! It still could be a stain left from mould though, just like how pindot is in ground dirt

Looking at her leg with the light, I think that the light spots you can see are just thin plastic, and what looks dark is just the regular plastic thickness, as it’s dark by her knee.

My next test, as her insides seem okay, is going to be using hot water and trying to remove it like Pindot.
