I haven’t called the vet yet, I had a private physio come out to access him ‘off the record’ and the policy was taken out last year so hoping as the 14 days have been and gone and he has never had any history of this we might be ok, I am still with the vet he was under before and apart...

Yes if he was over a certain amount they required vetting and xrays but he was under that threshold

Policy says No cover for illness/disease showing clinical signs within 14 days of policy inception. Am I right to presume as he has not had any tests or investigations with a vet for this, today the physio who came (as a private job not via a vet) was the first clinical signs or would that be...

I have spoken with his previous owner, she has said the behaviour is not like him at all, never done anything dangerous in traffic and has always been a plod, he has only ever been part loaned before by a girl who is still at our field, she said he never was how he is now, a bit bolshy but no...

It was a question that was asked but just had a yes/no option, and age/cost dependant as to whether they required x-rays, Its a fairly new policy I took out in December so part of me thinks they’ll try their hardest to get out of it, I’ll find out where I stand and can only go from there...

I’m so gutted, the vet came out to do his jabs in October a month before I paid for him and he said he seemed in good health so I didn’t bother getting him fully vetted prior to purchase, I wish I’d known this physio beforehand I would have got her out, the saddler did say she was...

Oh god do you think? I’m going to have to call them to find out where I stand, what a mess 😭😭

After today I’m glad I cancelled the trainer Friday (decided to until health checks done as didn’t want to push him to work if potentially pain related)

Previous owner developed arthritis and was unable to ride him due to her own poor health, she put him out on full loan as she had to give up horse

Thank you everyone for your replies, I had the saddle fitter out who found no problems with tack but did find some stiffness in his back, she suggested his behaviour being so extreme could be pain related and advised to get a physio she knows out to access, she came today and it is looking...

The way he was ‘sold’ was as if he had been out of work through owners choice and just needed bringing back into work and getting him back out and regularly riding, I don’t feel I can walk away, I feel I need to do my best by him and give him a shot, don’t get me wrong if it doesn’t...

Thank you, I’ve cut it all out and just giving him a scoops of nuts

Have just ordered one 👌

Will also look into the idolo tie 👌

Thanks for your reply, I think you may be right, I don’t think the feed has helped but I have had him since March 2018 and through summer he was just on hay and was still the same, it has got worse but he’s always been like it, he is very temperamental and grumpy, the couple who had him from...
