Bumps on skin

[Horsegirl25]

Does anyone know what this is on my mare, ive clipped her and these have appeared? The physio did ask if she had rain scald as he felt some scabs (pre clip) it can’t be tho as she’s never had much turn out in her life (showjumper) and not out without a rug with me?

Any ideas? They don’t seem to be bothering her

I'm having the exact same problem but mine are bothering my mare (I have a thread about it too). I've now clipped her so I can see the lumps properly and there are so many.

Did you wash her off after clipping?

Yeh although these photos are take before she was washed but they still look the same

It could be a reaction to the clipper oil.

Or some horses get that type of thing under the saddle cloth it's where the sweat blocks the pores abd causes lumps.

What did you wash off with?

Just Hibi scrub diluted in water

Could it be sweat rash? If they were there before clipping. Mine got a few scabs in his armpits when they were a bit fluffy and it was mild last week.

Could be dermatophilis. Aka rain scald/sweat scald. The weather has been mild so could have sweated when ridden or under a rug. Bathing in diluted hibiscrub should clear it up.

Could well be as I didn’t notice prior to clipping

Too hot? Our pony developed these when he’d been over rugged on particularly mild days. Kind of a heat/sweat rash. What rug has she had on? It has been milder the last few days x

Was going to say the same. It’s been quite mild and damp so I wouldn’t be surprised if unclipped horses were harboring some nasties in their coats.
