Extreme Veteran Posts: 477 Location: Lost in the swamps	I have heard of horses that have hock, stifle, sacrum ilium issues do this. also, horses with hoof imbalances. Not just emp, or spinal compression/ inflmatory issues. They position themselves to find comfort. I would still get him vetted. And do a simple neuro test. To be sure. Then see of you can locate any soreness. Edited by imturnin3 2015-05-19 8:02 PM
