I noticed yesterday that my 5 year old horse has a growth under her chin. It's small and sort of like a hanging wart, a bit like a skin tag. It's not ulcerated or anything and is the same colour as her skin. Would this be a wart or a sarcoid? I'll try and get a picture of it to show what I mean.
 
My youngster had a skin coloured wart on his sheath I had watched and studied it for quite a while, when the flies bothered him in this area and he kicked out at them it would look quite sore. I had convinced myself it was a sarcoid, he was due a vac so when the vet came I pointed it out to him.

Vet had a look and said oh it,s just a wart nothing to worry about and the next thing he did was just snatch it off, I did not realize he had done this and looked at the area and said ooh where as it gone, vet said oh sorry did you want to look at it as I have thrown it over the there somewhere.

It was not very big and did look very much like a skin tag, and he has had no more since that one which was two years ago, just get your vet to have a look or send him a photo just to make sure it is nothing serious.
