this happens in our cattle sometimes where the winter coat hasnt fully come out usually on those that are poor doers or need worming if they've been bought in but ive never seen it on a horse before!

She had a huge moult about 6 weeks ago, I don't even know where all the hair came from, she wasn't that hairy to begin with! Then these super thick, super fluffy patches came up on her bum, they're very bizarre - the hair's so thick it's a struggle to get down to the skin

Reminds me of the childrens book about a saddleback pig whose saddle had slipped: he was called saddlebottom, and shortened to saddlebum by mean farmyard friends
If its any consolation a friend's mule (the one in my siggie) grows a thick stripe of coat along his belly and doesn't shed it even in the hottest of the Spanish summer

Great, so she's either part cow, part pig or a mule
Thanks guys
She didn't do this last year
Maybe there's a draft at bum height in her stable

She's 2, yes. Apart from being lame on all 4 legs, she's great
She's seen the vet 5 times, and been in to the surgery, in the last 3 weeks, and everyone comments on her unusual fluffy bum, but no one seems concerned?!

well I wouldn't worry bout it then, she's just trying to worry you a bit more, or concerned you are sending her north for a winter hol

Maybe she's making a fashion statement
