Never had the experience of having a pee stained pony, but judging from some of the comment on here, it isn't all that uncommon. Horses were'nt bred to be kept pristine all the time with every dropping and wet patch removed from their stable every time. Some horses are just really messy in their box, not a lot that can be done about that.
And at least flamehead has done something about it now. Her horse's coat will soon start to drop anyway, don't really understand the whole deal over it. It's hardly a welfare issue, I'm sure the horse is happy and healthy
In regards to the mud comments, come to Warwickshire. We have lots and lots of glorious clay. Try cleaning that off when it's dry.
ETA: look at the palamino in my sig, 2nd pic from the right. The dark patches on him are Warks mud. No amount of curry combing and dandy brush with a full dose of elbow grease was shifting that! And He had a rug on when he was turned out. C'est la vie...
