Best Answer

The horse's "point of hip" should be just below the sacral-iliac joint (where the loin and croup meet). It looks like a slight projection and you should be able to feel a bump there. It is just behind and just above the flank area and is actually part of the "pelvic" bone of the horse. The slope and length from this point to the point of buttock are important to the overall balance and structure of the horse and indicate the strength of the hindquarters.
