Hi I have owned my horse for just over a year now. I bought her from a dealer so her past is unknown. She has been an angel up until I moved yards. I was at a yard with just one other horse, but now I have moved to a 4 horse (including her) where she is the only mare. The problem I am having...

I purchased a 5yo connemara gelding 5 months ago. The horse i viewed was calm and amazing to ride. As soon as I got him home he was a different horse. It started with his aggressive behaviour in the stable, he would turn his bum on me when i tried to put a headcolar on him. If i go up to his...

Hi everyone. UPDATE. Thanks for all your advice. I had him thoroughly checked out by a vet and it all came back fine. All of a sudden from one day to the next he went from bucking at least 8 times a session in the school to the occasional one. The twisting has completely stopped, Crazy what a...

He is 5yo. He was sold to me as a well schooled professionally backed show jumping pony. I can't even think of jumping until I get him comfortable in the school. Think I was a tad mislead with this horse. I will just have to work as hard as I can.

The vetting was done by a vet of my choice and i was there for the vetting and he was fine. His back is fine to touch and he doesnt mind his saddle going or nor does he mind me getting on or trotting and cantering hacking out. He will happily walk around the school but its mainly trotting he...

Ye the bucking and twisting is very strange, and i at first thought it was discomfort, but have literally tried everything to find out what the problem is. I rode him with my friends saddle before i got mine fitted and he was exactly the same, i have had two fitters look at the saddle and they...

Elsbells That gives me lots of hope. its nice to no other people have experienced what I am going through. The bond is growing with me and ted it will just take a lot of time. How did u deal with your horses temperament, some people say to hit when there horse bites, im in two minds. I give ted...

I love connies to and just want the best for him. Hes only a baby and has so much to learn, i just want to 100% eliminate any pain or discomfort. Thank you all again. I will post when the vets been out to have a look :)

Ye I think you are right, going to give my vets a ring and see when they can come out. Thanks for all your advice

Ye this is a very good point, i have tried to eliminate every possible course of pain.. saddler fitting a new saddle, teeth done, farrier checking and re-shoeing, and physio for his back. So vet would be the next step. I just would of thought it would come up on the 5 stage vetting. He didnt...

Yes she is, she has been qualified for 25 years and was recommended to me by literally everyone in the local community. But if a vet is what everyone thinks il need then im happy to try anything to get my little man happy.

What course of treatment is needed usually with SI pain... ive never had a horse with a back problem, and the full 5 stage vetting came back clear.

The back lady reccomended box rest for nearly all of the horses who had their back done at the yard. ive never come across them needing that either but followed her advice as i didnt want to course any harm to him. I use a magnetic rug as well for a few hours every few days to see if that helps...

Thank you all so much.. its so nice to know there are people out there who want to help each other out. I know he will be a fab horse one day just going to be a lot of hard work and im sure a few tears. He is an amazing jumper and would suit doing cross country, maybe dressage isnt for him will...
