Some nice person sent me a video with a horse's knee buckling. That's when the knee just doesn't seem to lock, and it buckles forward, usually causing the horse to stumble.

I thought we could talk about what it could be.

What grabs the eye is the knee.

That must be the problem, right?

Nope.

It could be the problem. What else could it be?

It's helpful to change the question we're asking.

Most people start with this question: "the knee is buckling, so what's wrong with the knee?"

But always remember, the symptom (what we see) is almost always the compensation for the real problem.

Therefore, the real question is: "what could be cause of the knee not locking?"

Knee's don't lock when the stay apparatus isn't working. The stay apparatus goes up and down the entire leg. Therefore, what could affect the stay apparatus?

Here's my list:
knee arthritis
hoof trimming issues (imbalance or too high heel)
misalignment anywhere in the leg and/or sternum

My point here is not to list all possibilities.

My point is to help you shift your questions.

Because if you don't have the right questions, you can't get the right answers.

So just memorize this: the symptom we see or feel is almost always the compensation for the real problem.

If you know that, you can figure out anything.

Did you know some studies put equine ulcers at 96% of horses? That's crazy.

There are other studies that show the number is at least 60%. Why is that?

On Horse Mysteries Solved podcast, I'll tell you why so many horses have ulcers.

And what to do about it.

n today's Horse Mysteries Solved podcast, I talk about how horses should NOT be backsore.

Why?

Because their back muscles are at rest while they are standing.

Yes, at rest.

So why do they get sore? And, if sore, why don't they heal?

Hear some reasons and what to do about them on the podcast below.

80-90% of Sacroiliac (SI) problems are NOT caused by the sacroiliac joint itself.

If the issue was solely the SI joint, then a simply chiropractic adjustment would fix the problem.

Instead, so many horses are in constant SI pain; getting their SI joints injected which sometimes helps, sometimes does not.

And some of them are even being put down for this issue.

It's so sad because it is very fixable.

Find out the three real reasons for SI issues, and what you can do about them in today's podcast.

Today's Horse Mysteries Now podcast is about equine skin issues.

There's so many! All with fantastic names: mud fever, rain rot, rain scald, malanders, scratches, grease heel, fly allergies, and more.

Guess what?

They're all caused by the same things.

Humans just like to name them something different.

Regardless of the name, you can get rid of the skin issues.

Have you heard that suspensory ligament "pulls" happen mainly from overuse?

Either you're "riding too much, or doing too much for the horses level, or overdoing a specific movement."

That's wrong.

You need TWO items to be going wrong with your horse in order to have a suspensory pull:
A misaligned leg AND a problem with the liver

Have you seen horses with asthma struggle to breath? It's heartbreaking.

Today on Horse Mysteries Solved, I share why horses get equine asthma, COPD, RAO, heaves, etc.

All those "diagnosis" are really the same condition: A spectrum of breathing difficulties.

The podcast is not about medications, or diagnosis...it's about why the horses have trouble breathing in the first place. And what you can do about it.

It's not about dust, or pollen, or allergens.

The real cause is here: https://wheredoesmyhorsehurt.com/podcast-episode-52-coughing-asthma-copd-heaves-rao-why-horses-get-these-symptoms-and-what-to-do-about-it/

I know you've worked hard on your horse's saddle fit. Most horse owners have either had a saddle fitter out, or watched multiple saddle fitting videos, or both.

But occasionally I hear, "I've tried everything, but nothing fits my horse. He or she is so asymmetrical!"

This podcast is for you.

I talk about 3 important misalignments in this Horse Mysteries Solved podcast: https://wheredoesmyhorsehurt.com/podcast-episode-52-the-impossibles-difficult-saddle-fit/

There's no other videos out there talking about these items, so you might want to take a listen. Perhaps you'll be able to help your barn-mates as well.

Have you heard or thought these things about a horse?

-That's just the way she is
-He's always been that way
-Can't do anything about how they're built
-Nothing's gonna change that

In my opinion, many problems blamed on conformation are fixable. They're usually simple alignment issues.

Such as:

-Weak lumbo-sacral coupling
-Shoulder too upright or too flat
-Over at the knee
-Too straight hind leg (post-legged)
-and more

Please take a listen if you'd like to hear:

-Why mares are moody
-What can be causing it
-What you can do about it

As well as a simple fix for mares who are having difficulty getting pregnant.

Here's the bad news:

Colic is the #1 cause of death in horses.

Impaction colic is involved in about 80% of all colic types.

Here's the good news:

Impaction colic is totally preventable.

In today's Horse Mysteries Solved podcast, I'll share with you an easy to remember analogy about how the intestine works -- which is surprisingly like an airport --, and what is best to feed horses to avoid impaction colic.

I hope you are NOT familiar with cellulitis, because it is not good. There's an image of a horse leg with cellulitis at the link below (graphic warning).

Articles state that over 50% of cellulitis cases come with no warning, and no signs of trauma or cut skin.

It's currently a veterinary mystery. Which is why it's on today's Horse Mysteries Solved podcast.

A fairly short chat about what the typical treatments are vs. what is the real cause.
