Hi All

Just wondering if any of you had experienced this. When washing Ol down after riding earlier I noticed that under his chest behind front leg (where girth sits under belly slightly to side) there was a hard lump? He has one on other side but I think that is just the normal muscle there?? When I pur only small amount of pressure on the bigger lump he cow kicked (completely unlike him!) and is obv pretty sore there? Am worried about it as haven't noticed it before. I did think perhaps sore form girth but a) was fine doing girth up and when undoing it and whilst riding and doing up once more b)no obvious sores or rubbing????

Any thoughts greatly appreciated x
 
Is it covered in hair? Not likely to be girth rub if hairy. Could be a small wart or sarcoid.

If its raw it is likely to be a rub. If so, use a girth sleeve for a while, and dab with salt water to harden the area.

Generally keep an eye on it, watching for growth etc...
