I have an 11-year-old mare with lumbar pain off and on, especially on her right side. I know there can be a hundred different reasons for this and I have her worked on every 2 months by an exceptional chiropractor (Brett Boozer). She has not had a Caslick's yet, since I didn't think she was going fast enough to need one. My question is can the lack of a Caslick's be causing her lumbar pain? I know it's said that mares suck air and get sore, but I am wondering just exactly where they get sore. I am planning to have one done soon anyway, but just wondering.

Thank you, SKM. Now that I think about it, she had her SI injected earlier this year and I think her symptoms were about the same. I guess we will be off to see the vet.
