Thank you. I will try saddleless today and see what happens I will also try what dabdab did with moving him slightly sideways and see how we get on in the next few days. I came off the first time but not the second. It's so frustrating I know him inside out and this just is so unlike him...

Thank you for your reply. He had his saddle fitted by a local saddler when I bought it. I will see if any of my friends would lay over him while I lead him instead of me laying over him, my partner has said he is happy to lay on him if I lead him but I think he may be to big, Morris the horse...

Hi everyone I am having a few problems with my 4 year old being backed. He is used to his bridle and saddle will lunge and long rein with this tack on and happily let me lay and sit astride him without batting an eye but the moment you start to ask him to go forward he bucks and bucks. I...

Hi, I'm just going to start backing my 4 year old cob he is 13.2 th and quid short in the back. I have been looking at interchangeable gullet saddles and treeless. What are everyones thoughts please. Thank you

I have just found the vets assessment from previous owners it says rear hind from hip awkward in walk?! oh and cracked hoof that's the lot.

Thank you everyone I wrote everything down, I have the farrier at 2 so will have a chat with him, I will also contact the physio and see if she can come out again and have another look. I have just got all his notes out from when previous owner had him checked, he was checked by Nicola Baguley...

Thank you :) He can walk backwards in diagonal pairs he does seem to have a problem backwards its forwards and he is shocking on downwards inclines. I will have a go with his tail in the morning. He does wear his hind feet down really fast but has shocking feet. I found a photo of him on the...

Here is the boy in question :)

When I turn him in a tight circle he does not cross his back legs over and his hind is on a different track to his fore, I will have a look at wobblers on the net, I have watched more videos of horses hind leg action lately lol. I will ask the farrier tomorrow if wedges may help and to give it...

Thank you everyone, I will take a look for rob Jackson and could you please give me the details Applecart14 I'm Nottinghamshire Derbyshire border, so not far from the midlands, I will try anything :) When I first got Titch he would jump out of he field if he could not see other horses, I had to...

Thank you ihatework, the vet and backman said the same it will cost £1000s just to have an answer. I have been adding turmeric, pepper and coconut oil to his feed and luminate (they make it at the yard I am on and said may help him). I have bought some bute for if needed in the winter wen...

Thank again madlady I do have a few misfits bless them, I could quite easily start another thread on one of my others lol. His old owners had him scanned I was told but came back clear, I honestly don't know how. I will see if anyone is on the yard later to film him for me. He is 12 year old...

I seem to have a stable yard full of misfit and medical nightmares, here is my second post in the veterinary section about one of my other horses. I have a 17.3 Dutch Warmblood called Titch, I bought him for £1 as his old owners thought he was boring (he is not boring at all bless him) I...

Thank you so much I have the vet coming out to look at one f my other horses (that's a huge other thread lol) I will get them to take a look again. sorry for your loss, I hope they are not retained. thank you again

I have a little cob colt that is now 16 months old, I bought him from someone when he was 4 months as they had sold his mum. He has not dropped his testicles, I have a good feel around most days and I think I get to the area before he could pull them up. He is not coltish in anyway just grumpy...
