The occurrence of lumbar vertebrae variants in horses in Trinidad is rarely reported. Parts of the skeletons of two horses of unknown age and sex that died in a horse farm in Trinidad and Tobago were brought to the Anatomy Laboratory. It was reported that specimens of fused left transverse processes of the 5th, and 6th lumbar vertebrae and a blunted left transverse process of the 6th lumbar vertebra in thoroughbred racehorses in Trinidad. It may be the first report of its kind in Trinidad and Tobago.
