I would google ring worm and lice/mights in horses but if the mother has no symtoms could be an allergy. My mule had a terrible problem this winter with hair loss but it was coming out in patches and it ended up being an allergy to something. The vet give him a shot and a medicine to sprinkle on his feed once a day and now he looks amazing compared to before. I battled this for months and bought numerous products treating him for all sorts of things I thought it could be and none worked. In the end a $45.00 vet bill took care of it and Im sure I spent more than that on self diagnosis. Good Luck
