Heat Rash?

[sallybush]

My 15.2 14 year old ISH has been out in the field all day today with no rug on (as YO did not put her fly rug on). When I went to check she was ok this evening, she was covered in small bumps all over her skin, no part of her body with no bumps. Didnt seem painful or anything, but didnt look right.

I have put her fly rug on now for the evening - but any ideas what it might be? It was quite warm and sunny today - is it possible that it is some kind of heat rash?

Will make sure she has her fly rug on on the next sunny day and see whether she is any better.

She has access to water all day.

Nettle or heat rash. Mine's come up with a similar thing a few times - always seems to go down within a day or so
