Hello, I've a 3yr old filly that has a strange attribute I have never
seen before, and I was hoping someone here could help. She is a
warmblood, just under 30 days training, and appears to be perfectly
sound, but her hindquarters are uneven. One side of her rump appears to
be about a hand's thickness higher/wider/thicker than the other. It's
not a divot or an injury as far as I can tell, it just appears to be
more thick or developed than the other side. I've spoken with several
vets and they are all perplexed; even had radiograms done that showed
perfect joints and bones. I at first thought maybe she just favored one
side more than the other but the vets say that muscle development
should still be equal unless she was lame and compensating but that is
not the case.

Anyone ever heard of such a thing?

Thanks-
Brian
