jumpers bump?

[HOWEN]

Hello
Has any of you had or know of a horse with problems with the sacroiliac (i think its called jumpers bump unsure tho). I would like to know what the treatment is and do they ever become sound?

Yep, my mare had a sacroilliac problems. I have a good physio who has donw wonders, now there's nothing she can't do.

I dont think that all horses with a jumpers bump have saccroliliac problems? I didnt know that this was the case! My boy had this prob, but dont think he had a jumpers bump...not that I saw anyway!

Yeah, I don't think having a 'jumpers bump' has anything to do with it.

My old horse had a sacroilliac joint injury.In her case she has not been able to jump as long as I have known her.Her new owners keep her on the same yard as me and she has now been diagnosed with a problem in her pedal bone which is thought to be connected to the original injury in respect of her compensating for the pain in her back end by using her front end more.The jumpers bump is a term I think is used for a horse which has a round rump in the traditional shape of a showjumper whereas the hunters bump is another term for an injury in the sacroiliac region.
