Hard Lumps Under Saddle

[Jive Master]

So one of my horses, Paddy, has got some hard lumps that have appeared under his saddle. They are pea size, near his spine and there is about 4-6, they don't seem to be bothering him in any way and I can touch them with no reaction. They have appeared in the last few weeks, I'm thinking they are probably blocked sweat glands or something along those line. I use a griffin nummed saddle pad that has non slip matting, I have always used this and not had this problem before. I'm thinking of clipping his saddle area?? Does anybody have experience with this or have any ideas. Thanks x

My TB mare used to get them when she got too warm under the saddle area.

One of mine has these, had them looked at by the vet, he said not to worry about them if they're not bothering him, just use a good, clean numnah.

My daughter's cob gets these in summer under her saddle they never bother her and disappear as fast as they appear.
