Only as seen in a pony that fractured its pelvis (the fracture which was found after pts, having been used as an interesting autopsy case by vet college).
Sorry, its usually a symptom of something pretty serious.

Yes it doesn’t look good. Haven’t seen the vet yet, but my elderly gelding seems to be showing a lot of symptoms of it. Hopefully we’ll see the vet tomorrow.

Only read about in books as a secondary thing to neuro or pelvis problems ... I hope the vet can give you good news and it's something fixable

We’re just going to give anti inflammatory and pain killers and see how he goes. He’s 23 and the vet thinks (as do I) it’s probably degeneration/arthritis in his spine or sacroiliac joint. If it lets him move around comfortably we will stick with that, but any worsening and we pts. We’ll reassess in 10 days.
