My pony has another lump type thing on his neck. It's slightly higher and further over than him throatlash (where his glands usually get puffy) and its about 8cm by 6cm. Its quite wide but quite flat and feels quite puffy and slightly fluidy.
He has it on his near side, but on the off side he doesn't have anything, or if anything only a tiiiiny very flat one.

What could they be? He hasn't eaten anything odd I dont think, and lives out.

Any ideas gratefully recieved!
 
Quite often horses get swollen glands when they are on new Spring grass. May be that - sometimes effects one side more than the other. Miska gets them ever now and then. Hope this helps x
 
Ooh, that sounds like a possibility, Thanks Kim :)

I asked YM yesterday and she said it felt like a fatty lump probs from fighting, but I'm not sure
