Saddle sores are abrasions over or just behind the withers on a horse's back caused by an ill-fitting saddle. An early indicator that a saddle doesn't fit is the appearance of dry spots on the horse's back after riding. Horse owners should periodically check the fit of their saddle on the horse, since their body changes which can affect the fit.
