Re: [RC] Heat Bumps - Candace Kahn

Back in the 70's, geez was it that long ago, my horse used to get heat bumps.  What I started to do was to loosen the girth about 1/4 mile before the vet check and walk my horse in.  By the time we got there I assume his back had enough pressure released that the bumps did not appear when I took off his saddle.  Since then I have made this a practice whenever I ride including at home.  I always dismount and release the girth and walk back to the barn.  Hope this helps.
