With great difficulty - fistulous withers in horses is caused by bacteria or parasites in the withers that caused lots of inflammation and pus. When the pus tunnels its way out of the muscle and drains from an opening in the skin, it is said to have a fistula or a fistulous tract. Unfortunately by the time the infection is draining it is usually a severe infection and often is with bacteria/fungi/parasites that are difficult to kill. Aggressive therapy would include intravenous antimicrobials and surgery to cut away the majority of the infection.

It will be hard to miss a fistula on your horse's withers. It will probable be swollen and may be warm to the touch. Your horse will probably be running a fever and may be lethargic or listless and may not feel like eating. Whatever you do, don't try to put a saddle on his back or ride him at all. If you think this is what is going on I think it is best to call your vet. It's hard to keep a horse's environment sanitary and he may need antibiotics. Or it may not be a fistula but some other infection.
