It is not uncommon for such clinical signs to be traced to back problems. However, it remains unclear how often diseases and disorders of the back actually occur in horses. This is connected to the fact that the clinical signs are wide-ranging and non-specific, making such disorders difficult to diagnose; further influencing factors such as the saddle, the rider and the riding style all have to be taken into account. Nevertheless, it is possible to use modern techniques such as X-rays, ultrasound scans and scintigraphy to examine horses’ backs. Such examinations often reveal changes in horses’ back – however, it has long been known that not every identifiable change is a cause of pain and clinical signs. By the same token, the fact a horse is still willing and able to perform is by no means a guarantee that it is completely free from pain. It is fact that many horses are retired before their time due to chronic back pain.
