Pressure relief for lump on horse's back?

[Hels_Bells]

My horse has developed a collagen type lump on his back under his saddle area. It doesn't cause him any pain but the vet says I need to put some kind of donut shaped pad over it when riding to ensure no direct pressure on it whilst i'm treating it with a steroid cream.

So basically I need to create a giant horsey corn plaster but no idea what to use! Something that would "stick" on would be good, but obv not so sticky that it hurts to take if off again. And it needs to be fairly light and spongy so it doesn't hurt him whilst it's under his saddle. (I already use a prolite).

Any ideas!!!!??!!!

Does your prolite have the inserts that you can remove? If so, take a couple out and cut a hole in them. Or take everything like straps, and strike pad off an old brushing boot so you are left with a neoprene pad. then cut a hole in it.

Thanks Sprite - my prolite doesn't have panels but I'll try to find an old pair ofbrushing boots tonight, great idea.

My mare had the same problem - I bought a piece of vetbed rather than kill an expensive pad and I cut a hole in the appropriate place and shaped the rest as a numnah. It worked brilliantly - think I put another numnah over the top so the saddle wasn't directly over it. Hope this helps!
