Neat Freak Posts: 11216 Location: Wonderful Wyoming	Do you know why the horse needs injected? I had my gelding done because the vet recommended it. He was always sore in that area after a run. Had his hocks done too even though the x rays were clean (vet recommended). The SI lasted about 3 months and he was worse than ever so I had another vet spend 3 hours checking him out. Last exam showed he had broken his pelvis at some point. To continue SI injections make him feel better, but to continue to run him really isn't fair. My only point is it is good to know why a horse needs injected as some vets are just injection happy.
