Thank you so much for sharing this. I owned a horse with an SI injury awhile ago, and just learned that it probably wasn't treated correctly. He was injured at age 5, and it bothered him off and on until age 20 when he passed. In rural areas this info isn't always available. So so helpful to watch.
Hi there. Thank you for the video. I purchased a 4 year old (3 years ago). I was tired of buying horses that were around 8-9 and had hidden injuries from their racing careers. When I tried him he was great and decided to buy him. With 3 weeks I noticed odd things with his hind, especially the fact that he could not take one step back, at all, He was diagnosed with mild shivers, Over the past three years he has been a lovely horse, competing in show jumping and show hunter and this past winter did his first hunting season. I am aware horses with shivers should not be boxed and need regular work so he never had a long time off, he would have a week here and there. After this seasons hunting season I decided to give him 3 months off. I now have him back in for the last 3 months. I have noticed a big difference in his sacroiliac joint, it is very much raised and higher on the right than the left, but the left is slightly raised also. His shivers has also graduated a bit. He has always been a lovely kind gentle horse but there has been a change in that insofar as he isn't keen to be caught, he doesn't run away, he just looks unhappy about it, he raises his head high when I go to bridle him. His tail hangs to the right when he goes poos and he is just generally grumpy, which to me means he is uncomfortable. He shows no sign of lameness or soreness when I massage him. Just wondering your thoughts on this please. (I am in New Zealand).
Good job doc you help a lot of people thanks!

We would definitely recommend having your horse seen by a veterinarian.
This was extremely helpful! Thank you!!!

Would SI issues potentially show up on nuclear scintigraphy? Thank you so much!
thank you
Thank you!
I had my horse injected for 3 years. The first year was fantastic, second ok, third didn't work. They said it doesn't work after 2. Do you agree?
"A fun new thing to inject" I'm dying Thank you for the humor before starting in!
My horses has a hunters bump she is 12 years old I just bought her lots of money .my husband wanted to ride her and she last balance and fall
Nope, prefer a more natural approach.Why are you not addressing gelding adhesions as a more accurate diagnosis for HQ lameness?
