Dhorse, a thin skinned TB has twice come up in lumps this summer. The first time was about 6 weeks ago - he'd been wearing his fly rug and it had been hot then wet and he'd rolled - the second was yesterday - definitely not hot, but wet and he'd rolled. Anyhow the lumps today are mostly on one side (I can't remember which side they were on before), in varying sizes from small finger nail to palm of hand and are raised, smooth and quite hard. He doesn't move away if I touch or press them and he seems completely unbothered by them. If they are like the last lot they will be gone by tonight.
Any ideas what it could be? I was entertaining thoughts of being allergic to the mud, he's very thorough when he rolls (!), but he's rolled loads of times and nothing comes up. He's not getting any hard feed, he hasn't moved fields, there's nothing new growing and although the horseflies are about it doesn't look like insect bites.
