It's very hard to know for sure without actually seeing the lumps. It depends on many things such as: HOW BIG they are, how they are shaped, HOW MANY are on the horses body and WHERE on the horses body, and how long the lumps stay, (for example, are they there one day and gone the next?) HOWEVER, for general information, a lot of lumps, especially small, dime sized lumps across the barrel of the stomach and hindquarters can often simply be the effect of a heat rash, bug bites or simply the allergic reaction to bug bites or even an allergic reaction to something as simple as the type of fly spray, shampoo or conditioner you are using. There are many good equine veterinary manuals available that have good, color pictures of different skin conditions that may help you determine what it is. Often, your local library will have these types of books in stock. But also remember that ANYTIME something changes suddenly on your horse and you're not sure what it is, ALWAYS call a veterinarian. Trust your gut instinct.
