Three conditions that are frequently discussed together are lumbosacral (LS) pain, sacroiliac (SI) region pain, and primary hindlimb lameness. These conditions often produce similar signs, and understanding the differences between these disorders can help owners, trainers, and riders communicate more effectively with their veterinarian and recognize when further investigation is needed.

Capped elbow, commonly known as a shoe boil, is a condition that affects the point of a horse's elbow. While it can look alarming, it is usually a cosmetic issue rather than a serious cause of lameness. Understanding what causes capped elbow, how it develops, and how it can be managed can help horse owners identify the problem early and prevent it from becoming more severe.
