As riders, we often can feel when something is not quite right with our horses, and it can often be shown by behavioural changes too.

Does your horse do any of the following?
​

• Difficulty striking off in canter or maintaining certain canter lead

• Head shaking during ridden work

• Head tilting

• Disuniting in canter

• Behavior changes - rearing, bucking, napping

• Difference in movement and gait, lameness, brushing of hind legs?

• Reluctance to jump, or knocking down poles, or tripping when conducting pole work?

• Difference in muscle development, loss of muscle or over development?

• Stiffness on one side or hanging on one particular rein when being ridden?

• Does your horse avoid using its back - and work in a hollow outline?

Does your horse have a 'cold back' when you get on?

Physio may be able to help with these problems, and identify where the pain is coming from.
