Hip Issues In Horses. ‘knocked down hip’ is a common name for a fracture of the tuber coxae (point of hip). Most horses with coxofemoral pathology show some pain on proximal limb flexion or abduction. Coxitis is inflammation of the hip and may lead to osteoarthritis of the hip. Sacroiliac pain may result from trauma, repetitive stress, overuse injuries, poor conformation or arthritis. No matter the discipline, the posting trot requires hip flexors to be able to rapidly expand and contract in time with the horse’s movements. Tight hip flexors cause problems in the air and on either side of the fence, such as leaning forward and a lack of timely movement. Competition horses involved in dressage and show jumping have the highest risk of this condition. This is usually the result of a horse having an impact with a gate post, fence or trees, a barrel in a race, another horse’s hoof, or the ground. Disorders of the hip include coxitis, dislocations, fractures, and bursitis. Rectal examination is generally unrewarding;. A horse’s ability to see, breathe, urinate, breed, and even chew and swallow may be affected by a muscular condition. Any hip injury or disorder leads to compensatory changes in the movement of the equine and its posture.
