Thank you for this. My horse very clearly shows 5 of these signs! I will now be able to bring this up to my vet and get her tested.

WOW this is excellent info. I was searching for my dog but having been a horse owner/rider most of my life. I thought, they're both quadrupeds so... When I saw the heading for SI pain I decided to watch because I had a suspicion but I also feared hip dysplasia. I may be wrong but at the moment this confirms my suspicion of an SI issue. I've been watching the carriage of his hip to the right, the tracking behind crossing over and tail carriage to his right. I've had him to a chiropractor 3 times. Tomorrow we see our vet. She is an allopathic but also trained in alternative medicine, which she prefers. Thank you so much for this excellent info. and video.

Very well explained, very helpful, thank you

Hi & thank you. The bump/ hump/ ? Topline in loin area. Mare & foaling troubles?? Lunge to left, both hinds buckled / dropped & both fetlocks locked with bottom of hooves facing BACKWARD versus down. Only a split second, but still worrisome. No rider was aboard. She did similar under saddle. Breed was a TWH.

[@blkgryphon]

Thank you so much for your research, and for putting this video out here for us laymen (and vets too). I am going to be looking closely at a horse that I have seen doing some degree of what looks to me like a "bunny hop" canter, to see if I can detect any of the other signs described here. If that is the only sign, I wonder what that might suggest. If I could make this video even better than it is, I would have liked to see normal horses for comparison. Thanks again!

[@jbt1952]

very thorough review! However, I was not clear in #3, when the haunches go in or out on the circle, which hip was the affected one? Does the horse's pelvis move toward or away from the "lame" hip? Thank you

[@equineallsports]

there is no clear correlation between the direction of the haunches in and the location of the lesion. I guess haunches in is a way to relief tension in the pelvic region unrelated to the side

[@Jes-Lynne]

Thank you for this. Would you say that overbuilt glute med is a possible sign of SI dysfunction? I have a gelding that has built up glutes, and then the divot/line between the glute & biceps femoris is tender, and sometimes weeps (sebum? IDK..but it's oily-ish, and sticky when it's half dry - not like sweat). He is asymmetrical in the pelvis - ortho specialist suspects a congenital asymmetry of pelvic origin - points of tuber sacrals seem symmetrical however, but the R hip is slightly dropped and RH weaker than L. When traveling L on a circle with the RH limb in anterior position he has a slight deficit. Seems mechanical. He is young and huge and was a huge foal, and has had this seemingly his whole life - so thinking maybe birth trauma? PT and correct work have improved things greatly and his balance, coordination, and asymmetry are getting better every day, but took a year-1.5 of walk/trot only to get him stronger and more balanced and have only recently started asking for canter again. I know that's a lot of info, but would love any thoughts/insights you may be willing to share. Thank you for your content!!

[@equineallsports]

it is impossible to give you any suggestions without seeing the horse, so much information.. does he have 3 or more of these symptoms? Then SI pathology is likely and having a specialized vet examine your horse might be helpful....

[@angelialsapp2700]

Are TWH'S hindquarters structure the same as other breeds ? American Saddlebred, American Standardbred ( trot & pace abilities), Quarter, Andalusian, Lipizzaner, Icelandic?? Affect/Effect them backing up?? Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@equineallsports]

yes, with small individual variations they are present in all horses.

@@equineallsports can you help me plz am 15 I just owned my first horse and when walking it leg drags help me plz

[@taylorrainbolt8326]

What is the treatment?

[@paulaflakser7053]

Assuming not, but are there any conformational or movement differences that would change the testing in mules?

[@equineallsports]

Not to my knowledge

[@melissavanderlinde1639]

My boy has only two that I can see. The right rein, where haunches is coming in and tracking narrow. My vets given him anti flamatorys and we are doing physio and exercises. BuT as soon as weight is on back he won't go forward. I'm not sure what it can be amd no one seems to have answers. Any suggestions?

[@JG-yp6pt]

Melissa. Might be best to get the vet out.

[@prateekgaykar2894]

Hiii i m from India my horse left leg hot back side is not well he is not walking or running well so please can u give mi the solution please

[@kellythyben3984]

I have an older TB mare never raced she adducts her right hind terribly almost touches the other. Needles to say I have retired her poor thing she is now lame right hind and now I know what to look for in sI pain.

[@dshe8637]

The bunny hop canter is almost universal in show quarter horses. Sad to think it's pain related.

[@robertdaniul4390]

The biggest problem I see is that the serpentine s where way to close to get a true depictions of it and the horses on the long line the first horse was leaning in the turns and the horse were not square in the turns. So this makes the horse brings the legs inside to get them to keep thier balance.

[@margritneuenhagen6950]

Why are some horses in so much pain , and nobody seems to know what is wrong with them. That is very sad. I wonder if it comes from riding and horses carrying fat heavy people on their backs, sometimes for years. Some of these poor horses don’t seem to get proper care for long times and they suffer in silence!!

[@robertdaniul4390]

The so called Canter they are showing in this video is actually a Qaurter Horse Lope or a Western lope.

[@robertdaniul4390]

Not all horses are born with a straight tail.
