Its a bacterial infection influencing the skin, causing bald spots. To prevent rain rot you should try to keep your horse dry, by either blanketing the horse or providing a shelter that is dry and easily accessible. Once the horse has rain rot however you'll need to treat it, which can take time and patience. You will need to bath the horse in medicated shampoo, dry his coat thoroughly and then apply something along the lines of petroleum jelly to the scabs only and allow them to soften then peel them off. You will also need to sanitize all of your horses equipment to prevent re-infection.
