Extreme Veteran Posts: 425 Location: California	Finally got photo. Would rain rot develop in that one spot? I have never personally dealt with it.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 545 Location: Texas	My horse just started with some spots very similar to this. He has one on his chest, one down his back, and then a few random ones. I am glad you posted and hope someone knows what it is.

Warmblood with Wings Posts: 27846 Location: Florida..	komet. - 2015-09-04 11:07 PM Can you have rain-rot without rain? yes they can if horse sweats alot due to humid weather and its bacterial......with that said.. it looks more like skin issue and maybe from bugs and sweat or fungus.. is it just on head ? calm coat works good for those type things.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 312 Location: KS	Looks like a fungus/bacteria. There are several topicals for fungus, spray in area couple times a day and bet it clears right up.
