You failed to mention if the spots have just occured or has he had them for a long time. A brown-eyed horse with blue spots, especially if just recent, should be seen by a vet. Just like people, horses can have different colored eyes. The most common being brown, then blue and lastly amber. I have seen horses that have one brown and one blue. But I would have a chat with my vet just to make sure your horse is not suffering from a serious eye problem.

Sometimes the horse can have one blue eye and one brown, or even have eyes that are mixed blue and brown in the same eye.

blue and yellow. horses have only two unique hues - something similar to blue and yellow, and there are no intermediate hues.

Do Horses have blue eyes?
Some horses, especially Paint or pinto horses, will have one or two blue eyes. This is because just as their white spots result from a lack of pigment in their skin and coat, a lack of pigment in their eyes makes them blue instead of brown. There is also a coloration of horse known as "perlino"; these horses are like albinos but whereas albinos have pink eyes perlinos have blue eyes. The blue eyes are just as good as normal brown eyes as far as vision goes, although pink-eyed albinos sometimes have problems with vision.
Are Albino and Cremello horses the same?
No.... albino horses have no pigmentation at all, and this often makes their eyes red, and they are normally white. Cremello horses are like more a creamy colour, and have blue eyes( generally) There has never been a verified albino horse. The gene is though to not exist in horses.

It is fairly common in Paint horses. While watched-eyed horses are horses that has blue eyes (sometimes they have one dark and one blue eye) it is called a 'watch eye' or being 'watch eyed'.
Why do some white ponies have blue eyes?
A lot of people don't know that horses can have different colored eyes than the basic brown. In horses that have a lot of white markings, (Paints, QH, pintos, ect) especially on the face the eyes can be blue, although some horses have little or no white on the face and still have blue eyes. There are some horses that have amber-colored eyes. These are sometimes refered to as "tiger eyes". The cause for these different eye colors are in the horse's genes. If the parents have these color eyes they can pass it on to their offspring. They still can see just as well as if they had brown eyes. On some horses that have all white faces (bald/apron) some owners will have pigment permanently tatooed on the horse's eyelids, hopefully to deflect some of the sun's rays and reduce sun damage to pink skin and blue eyes. Answer2: As stated above blue eye are caused by genetics and the possibility of white facial markings. It should be noted that true white horses typically have brown eyes, while cremellos, and perlinos will have blue eye as part of the double dilution gene. Some grey horses and ponies are born with lots of white on their faces and have a good chance of blue eyes.
Do blue eyed horses have any other defects or problems?
Blue eyes in horses are often associated with congenital ocular defects like iris hypopigmentation and lower production of melanin in the eyes, which can lead to increased sensitivity to sunlight and the potential for eye conditions like uveitis. Additionally, blue-eyed horses with a lack of pigment around the eyes may be more prone to skin conditions such as sunburn. It is important for owners of blue-eyed horses to provide proper sun protection and regular veterinary care to monitor for any related issues.
Where do horses have their eyes?
Horses' eyes do have cones, but most horses have only limited color vision. They can usually perceive red and blue, but may confuse some greens from shades of gray.
