Hiya,
A couple of weeks ago my horse came out with a huge patch of nasty hives at the top of his stiffle in a huge patch and random ones across his side towards girth. These scabbed up pretty quickly and the hair fell off. None of this seemed to effect him at all. He'd been out in a rain sheet and we assumed he had lay in something that irritated him like an ants nest.
Tonight he has lumps on his other side on his flank. Now they may be fly bites if something has got stuck under his rug? I don't think it's heat today. I have just taken delivery of a sweetitch rug so I have popped that on.
I have owned him for 5 years and once... a few years ago we had a few similar lumps at this time of year but not to this extent.
I'm a bit flummoxed to be honest.
Any advice or experience welcome
