Ridecamp: RE: [RC] Sore Backs

Regarding the hunter's bump.  The horse I purchased already had a hunter's
bump.  He was purchased by me from Jackie Bumgardner as a 3 year old coming
on 4.  I know the gal Jackie had riding him, didn't override him, she only
had him a few months & was conditioning for a LD about 6 months down the
road.  I actually got to do part of a ride with her & was able to ask some
questions.  He was broke when she got him, but had done no endurance.  Can
the hunter's bump be a part of their conformation also?  It isn't always a
sign of back or muscle injury is it?  The only back problems my horse has
had is saddle fit. I switched saddles & he has been fine for a year now.  He
does have a long back, but with my new saddle he seems fine.  He's had zero
lameness issues, etc.

Thanks,

Kathy Garner
