An abscess on a horse is when dead white blood cells or pus accumulates in the form of lump on the exterior or interior of the body of a horse. It can be caused due to an infection.

The body of a horse tries to isolate that infection with the help of its white blood cells that come together to fight with a foreign entity infecting the body of the horse. During this fight some of the white blood cells also die and accumulate in a closed and walled space inside the body to form a lump. Due to pressure build-up in this lump it is usually painful and inflammatory. With the passing of time this abscess can release pus after being ruptured.
