this is great. people usually tend to accuse the horse of bad attitude and never want to investigate pain. my mare outgrew her saddle (she was 4 when we started and was still growing) and began kicking out under saddle. the people at the barn i was at made comments about it , like she had a bad attitude but i knew it wasnt. finally found a saddle with a wide enough channel to accommodate her wide spinal process. i was riding bareback or with a treeless saddle for a while because i couldnt find a saddle that fit her - and even then she would sometimes throw a small buck in at a canter or have her ears back when trotting or cantering. glad i finally found a solution - most saddles have a VERY narrow gullet channel and it sits right on those bones you're palpating.. totally makes sense why that would bother a horse. stuff like your videos are educating people to look beyond the common comments of people set in their ways!!

Good on you. So many ignore the fitting of a saddle to their horse. With sudden change in behavior, I always suggest calling a vet or checking the horse first.
This was incredibly helpful! Thank you for showing it on different horses and the diagrams!
This is an incredibly helpful video, thank you so much!!!!
Iam a groom in Delaware very interesting video. I'm going to check the horses I work with and show my trainer

Here’s a great idea. Take a horse with mild back pain. Now every time you see your horse test it’s back for pain. It’s gonna love it!
Thanks for this video! Can I share it on my LIVE video today? Talking about pain.

Hi there, May I ask what ended up being wrong with the dark bay horse? Rach
❤❤❤
My 4 years horse has a back pain from last two month can u suggest me some treatment or medicine?
I grauded sport academy of Finland and we done it horses massage..klassick massage is the best for horses...if you have strong good hands😀many lazy and just pressing they finger.....no no
eh, 16-17 thoracic vertebra in the horse (on the diagram shown), that's not correct, they all have 18. And 6-7 lumbars is wrong too. They usually have 6, some horses (many arabs) only have 5.
I don't have a horse...(.probably never will)😫
The pelvis in the sample skeleton looks quite malformed, very unbalanced.
...they'renot very funny...snnickersszzz
