Horse skin problem ? rough and scabby / sebum deposits - any ideas?
My 13yr old bay thoroughbred has a skin problem which i noticed this evening - on the side of her neck is a very rough patch of skin about the size of my hand - i had a look under the light and the hairs become very very thin - the skin is not very dry looking but has a really rough texture where the sebum is on the surface and dried - i know its sebum because its yellow gold unless im mistaken - the whole area is like this - it is not in circular patterns or anything so its not ringworm - she is not itching either so i dont think its sweet itch...she is in large open stables on straw so she can come in and out of the weather as she pleases---- also I feed her Spillers Cool mix and Dodson and Horrel Fibre chaff...hay unlimited - and of course salt and water. Any advice welcome. 
It could be one of 2 things:
A bite or an allergy/skin irritation/fungi
I don't know what the weather is like where you are, but if you are having a combination of rain and humidity, then i would go for the fungi/skin irritation.
Check the other horses in the stable and if none of them have the same thing then you know it may be a viral fungi.
If the hairs are thin, then probably it is irritating your horse, and she will eventuality scratch, so Rather call the vet for a suggestion of what to put on, as once she begins scratching, she will enjoy this habit and it will become a pattern.
I would call the vet and ask what you should put on the infected area.
