🎥 Does Your Horse Have Sacroiliac Pain? Watch This! 🐎💉
In this video, we show you an example of a veterinarian performing an SI injection to help a horse struggling with sacroiliac discomfort. SI pain is more common than you might think and can affect performance, comfort, and overall movement. Here are 5 key signs to watch for:
✅ Cantering Issues – Trouble with leads, swapping behind, or resistance?
✅ Topline Atrophy – A weak, sunken topline can be a clue.
✅ Bunny Hopping – Moving both hind legs together at the canter.
✅ Pain on Pressure – Sensitivity when touched around the SI area.
✅ Pelvic Asymmetry – Uneven hips or difficulty engaging behind.
If your horse shows these signs, early diagnosis and treatment can make a huge difference! SI injections (caudal and cranial approach), combined with proper rehab and alternative therapies, can help restore movement and performance.

Did you know 🤔 The fetlock is often referred to as the "ankle" of the horse, located between the cannon bone and the pastern. It plays a critical role in shock absorption, flexing, and extending during movement to help cushion the impact on the horse’s legs.

The stifle joint is the largest and most complex joint in a horse’s body, functioning similarly to a human knee. It connects the femur, tibia, and patella, with multiple ligaments and cartilage structures supporting its movement. This joint is essential for flexion, extension, and stabilization of the hind leg. Its intricate design allows the horse to generate power for propulsion, whether galloping, jumping, or performing collected movements in dressage.
