Thanks for the posts. It sounds very much like the symptoms of collegen necrosis as described in the post below. She had recently had a lifestyle change from full turn out to being stabled at night. Maybe she had had a reaction to somthing in the stable which caused this reaction.

That was my first thought but the saddle was checked by a local saddler a few months ago and she's not changed much since then. On hacks she has a bad habit of jogging when she knows she is heading home so maybe that could be contributing? Is there any chance it could be related to somthing else?

I have a 12yr old mare with about half a dozen small lumps under the skin scattered in the region where the saddle sits either side of the spine. They feel hard to the touch and are about the size of a pea. Can anyone offer any advice?
