Well, I am not a vet.  But do a search on Sacroiliac Joint and Hunter Bumps

Also here's a link that's fairly informative; http://www.jwequine.com/pdf/hunters-bump.pdf

 

http://www.ivis.org/proceedings/aaep/2000/39.pdf  You have to scroll down (to page 4, I think) for the section on a hunter's bump

 

Hope this helps.

Hello,

I'm looking at a gelding that I'm considering buying but he has what looks like a hunters bump.

The owner said she had him examined by a vet that said that it wasn't a hunters bump but just

part of his conformation.  Does anyone know anymore about this than I do?  I studied it online

but still came out confused.  Any vets online here that can help me understand this?  Other

than the bump on his butt he is very handsome and put together very well.  He's 7 yrs. old

and 15.2H.  She is not the original owner so she isn't sure of his past.  She is selling him because

he is too much horse for her and doesn't have enough time to ride. 

 

Thanks, Barbara
