I noticed two large lumps on my horse's neck a couple of days ago, they are about the size of half a tennis ball, solid and not causing her any pain or discomfort. My mum said she saw them a few days ago but she is completely non-horsey and assumed it was just her muscle so didn't mention it. I've had her for about 7/8 weeks and honestly I haven't noticed them (they are under her mane) I do feel bad for not noticing them before 
Been told they're not glands as apparently they aren't near any, I've kind of narrowed it down to melanomas OR unusual muscle development?
As a yearling she got caught in some fencing and seriously damaged her leg, tore it to pieces (got the scars to prove it) it caused her a long period of lameness and has therefore developed her own way of moving (this is from my farrier) and has poor muscle development all over her body ( we are working on that though, she had been out of work when I bought her
). When working she has her head constantly tilted to the right, only slightly, which I have been told could mean neck pain or something not right further along in her back.
Anyway, the vet is coming out this week to see her, we are getting a Bowen therapist to check her back out, a saddle fitter and a dentist (she's started being aggressive when ridden/tacked up,) In the mean time I was wondering if anyone had any idea what it could be?
