over the past couple of days i have noticed my mare has lumps near her withers on the right hand side that are very itchy to her but the thing is she loves you to itch them and also when you do fur comes out with skin like rain scald i think it could have been my fault because i have been leaving her turn out rug on and putting her stable rug over the top to keep her warm with it being cold and she is not clipped but just lately i have been leaving her rugs off could you tell me is it a sweat thing or should i call my vet out to check them out

Just keep her really clean and groomed (clipping may help)and as dry as poosible...could be due to irritation...so some cream might help it heal faster and make her feel better. Try to get the rugs off any time the weather fines up...she would love that!
