Pictures: I've had a really awful day :(

can you remember that something similar happened to miss-c's genie. http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=471003&highlight=genie

she had the nose and the bumps (and a temperature) .. all down to hypersensitivity and liver damage. She kept her in and on hay for sometime as she wasn't tolerating grazing. I'll try and send her over here ;) as not sure what occurred treatment wise apart from supportive

her nose looked like this (I hope she doesn't mind me posting it!)

I would say buttercups a they seem to be causin a lot of Agro this year!!! Also have you thought of hives for the bumps? My Tb came in exactly the same as D and it was hives, 3 days and 8 Piroton a day sorted jack out. My welshies came in as well an turns out he's allergic to straw!!! Piroton sorted that out too!!!
 
My boy had a bad reaction to fly bites. And to a new banch of fly spary I made up. A lot of heat and very sore to touch. Vet been back on box rest and danion. Luckly it seems to be clearly up. Poor boy just came off a 6 month box rest after his foot op!!
 
My friends sensitive horse came out in a rash like the first photo, vet came and it was rain scald (even though he was wearing a rug!). Apparently it is the same/ similar bacteria as mud fever.
She washed it with mild
antibacterial shampoo I think and
it cleared up quite quick. Each little spot turned into a little White head and then fell off and left a tiny bald patch, looked a bit moth eaten for a short while but it all grew back fine.
Hope they're all better soon.
 
That happened to my horse here in Germany, but he doesn't go out in a field or eat grass right now (I know, DEFINITELY NOT a preference, but there is only a sand paddock for them to run around in here, our 4 months ends this week so he will have grass soon!)

But anyway, the point is that it was from nothing that he ate in a field, and asbolutely nothing else had changed in what he was eating in his feed, he had the same hay, and the only thing I can think of was that it was the fresh straw out in to his stable. There may have just been something in it that his skin had an allergic reaction to.

The vet gave him a homeopathic rememdy instead of steroids because I was supposed to compete the next day (if it cleared up) and had to be careful with drug testing. It was gone by the next morning, but decided not to compete to let him recover properly.
 
My horse has just been herded in like this today! Couldn't get a head collar on with it being so sore! Again, no buttercups or anything, grass and hawthorn hedges. The two others he is grazing with, both have pink noses like him are fine! Any idea what it is yet?

This is called folliculitis, and does look similar but I'm not sure that it would spread over such a huge area. If it is folliculitis, I found the cure for my mare was to hibiscrub her every time she got warm and sweaty with open pores for the bugs to get inside.
