Hi all! I'd like some input on a situation I've been having with my
horse. Just over the lsat 2 weeks, she's started developing these small
heat bumps on her back. They are about the size of a quarter, maybe some a
little bigger. They're mostly on her right side, in an area about the
size of my hand, behind her shoulder blades. She has some on her left side as
well, but not as many. I use a Wintec Endurance saddle, and have been
trying a Toklat Woolback pad, with a Dixie Midnight pad under it. I've
never had a problem with this saddle, nor with using a Dixie Midnight (6 rides
with the saddle, 8 with the Dixie pad). However, I haven't ridden this
saddle in the summertime, so I'm wondering if it could be too much of a heat
buildup, as the saddle has a vinyl bottom. I've used a Skito pad and a
Saddleright prior to trying the Woolback, and didn't have a problem with
either. So, any input would be great!
