Quick Intro and question about sweaty shoulder!

[Emma86]

Hello all,

Quick re-introduction...I am now owned by a lovely 5 yo ISH who has been with me for a few months now. We will eventually event together and its definitely going to be an exciting journey getting there!! And I am sure I will have lots of help from you lot along the way too!

So my question... She gets a sweaty shoulder, yes just the one!
I have searched a few threads and some people mention muscle or nerve damage but I would be interested to see what people think. She mainly gets it when she is waiting to go out in the morning, sometimes when she gets her knickers in a twist, but otherwise I see no pattern for it.
It is pretty much on her left scapula and no where else. I am not concerned it is anything awful but would just be interested to know if anyone knows any science behind it!
Its not related to her being hot, no rubbing rugs etc as she got it when unrugged too, and there is no soreness on the skin or damage to the hair.

So...Any ideas?!

I have looked after a horse with this. In his case it followed him @rsing about in the field and doing the splits.. so, yes, muscle or nerve damage. His owner wouldn't have a vet out so can't be much more help.. in fact the row we had resulted in her moving him. He was, however sound, the only thing was the sweaty shoulder which, some mornings actually dripped with sweat. He didn't sweat when out so movement would seem to be a key factor.

I would be interested to know how this progresses. Good luck.
