When covering veterinary conferences, there’s always that one presentation that stands out among the rest. At the 2014 American Association of Equine Practitioners convention held this past December, that presentation for me was one Dr. Rob van Wessum gave on detecting sacroiliac disease (SI) in horses. It was incredibly practical, presented in an easy-to-understand manner, and included lots of imagery and videos, yay!

If a horse’s haunches make a smaller circle than the rest of the body when longed, he might be showing signs of SI disease.
