Did they check his hocks? My horse is having the same
problem right now, pain in the lumbar sacral (sp?) joint area. A knowledgable
friend told me, "lower back pain isn't the problem, it's a symptom. My
guess is hock or stifle" Well, turned out my horse got kicked HARD
right on the stifle (zig zag cut to prove perfect aim) a week before his last
competition.
I had two other friends whose horses had bad back pain.
After having hocks injected and tens unit work to loosen up back they were much
better and competed again for a time.
