Has anyone ever heard of a "heat spot"?

Is that the side that his mane is on? Do you use any sprays on his mane? Maybe he is allergic to some product...

Wow! I haven't thought of that... well I think his mane is on that side. I'll look next time I see him. But I do put some stuff in his mane, but I have been using it for some time now and he just got the spots so I don't know if that would be the cause of it or not.

All it can take to cause a contact dermatitis with any of the products you use is an increased amount of it on the skin in one area. You are areally going to have to think like a detective here and take not of even little changes in what you've used, how you've used it.....

Wait Jessica, Could it be him rubbing up against something in the pasture? Or maybe TW Has a fungus that spread to him? Remind me to look when we go tonight...

My dog gets a "hot spot" or that's what we call it every year. He rolls trying to itch it CONSTANTLY! Very annoying. We usually give him anti-itch cream and a children's benedryl (sp?). I doubt it's the same as what your horse has though....I don't know.
