Location: White Mountains of AZ		So Hank ( my 7 yr old horse ) is my problem child...so accident prone I cant stand it!. Last year, the beginning of January, he got caught up in some fence and sliced his hind leg down to the bone. Pretty nasty. He maybe limped on it twice throughout the whole ordeal. Right now, it's just a scar. I was building him back up and after about 3-4 months I took him to race, didn't push him at all. He did fantastic. Everything seemed to be ok. Next race ( 2 weeks later/different arena) He went by his first barrel ( never done that ) then he dove before his 2cd. Knew something was up, got his teeth checked, chiropractor work, feet done but nothing to really sore or off. I ran my hands down his spine and right where it goes into lower back, he drops . Majorly. He was riding just fine, moving just fine, but the dropping and flinching is new. He is better, but still drops . Have anybody else had this happen? I've been doing stretches and back exercises but I just don't know .... :(

Sounds like a vet appointment is in order

Hocks and stifles can cause back pain. Running by and diving are can both be signs of hock pain.

Kidney stones, bladder/kidney infection can cause back pain

Location: In The Snow, AZ		 No advice here. But I'm sorry you're dealing with more set backs. Poor Hank. I hope you're able to find the cause and get him back stronger than ever.

I've had him checked multiple times by different vet/chiropractors/farriers/trainer etc. No signs of anything other than his flinchy back. I'm trying a new pad today just to see.
