Is this ringworm?

Clipping my cushings pony today as he’s getting so hot during the day and noticed this under his coat and immediately panicked that it is ringworm. I then also realised he’s been itching himself a lot on fence posts and has a lot of single scratch line ‘scars’ on his body so this patch also just might be where he’s rubbed a fly bite too much.
It’s not really scaley and has a few hairs growing throughout it so I can’t quite decide what it is. Any thoughts?

He’s 25 so he’s also got that ‘old skin’ look when he’s clipped, if that makes sense.

Ringworm is often raised. I am quite familiar with it having caught it off the family cat as a child. You can catch it too so I would also give it a little while but keep an eye on your own skin just in case
