This message is from: carol j makosky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi from cool and still buggy north WI, On Wed. morning as I was grooming Heidi, I noticed a soft and kind of squishy lump about the size of a golf ball on Heidi's neck. It is just to the left of her spine about where her mane starts. It seems to be under the skin only and when I move it or touch it, she does not seem to be in pain from it. Since she is my 1st horse, do I just watch it or enter a state of panic and get the vet out ASAP? Could she have rolled on something and this is a bruise and will go away on its own? It has not changed in size but is just there. My other concern is will a saddle or harness do it more harm? I know, one cannot expect a diagnosis sight unseen, but I will appreciate any advice I get on the matter.
