Saddle Fur
What caused this growth of white fur on mare's back?
Hey,
I have a 11 year old QH mare, and she recently developed light patches of hair on her back, which seem to be located directly under where the saddle goes. It started out on just one side, but it is now on both sides. She does not display any type of sore-back behavior, but even so, is this caused by an ill fitting saddle?
Also, will it ever go away?
Thanks!
Yes. White hair is a sign of scar tissue. It is likely that your saddle is rubbing her skin and making her a bit uncomfortable. Since she isn't displaying behavior that suggests she has a sore back, then the saddle has probably just irritated her skin so far. Try either getting your saddle re-fitted. using a different saddle pad, or using a half pad.
If you correct the problem, and take initiative to fix your saddle or to relieve her pain using a different saddle pad, then the scar tissue and the white hair will likely go away.
