I think its the correct name for the bony bit at the point of hip...though I may be wrong??

 

[Pancakes]

the tuber coxae is the common name for the hip bone. it forms the basis point of the hip and a fracture of this point is usually caused due to direct impact with another object.

Is that a serious accident for a horse? Could it mean long term implications??

Going through a pelvis issue now with my new girl

Looking at the pictures, I would say ned is definately lacking in bum muscle (topline). I would be concerned that: he's had this injury; he needs to be ridden in spurs; and he can't spread out over a wider jump. It all sounds like there is an issue that either just needs some chiro/physio or maybe it's more. I am not a vet, so do not take my words as fact. I would, if I wanted him, ask my vet's advice.
