Have you scanned for fragments? My horse was similar to this. He was not lame, which was supported by vet work-up. But he was lazy and I started to get suspicious when his canter transition became lazy and he would prefer to run in trot than give me the canter. He never used to do this...

What did you decide OP? I have two PRE's although both are purebreds. But both are totally different to each other! One (gelding) is super hot, sensitive, quirky, very talented and a winning machine but not an easy ride and not most peoples cup of tea (sadly due to bad treatment in Spain)...

Hoping for some help / advice regarding OCD in hind hocks (clear elsewhere confirmed via x-rays). My young (7 yrs old) PRE stallion started to get reluctant with his canter transitions; he would prefer to just rush off in trot. When you get the transition, it’s then a battle to keep the...

Fab!!

I'm texting her now to get in touch. I know she'll love to chat with you :-)

Yes I know her!!!!!!! She's a friend of mine and I know she told me she had a mare called Gem before. PM me your details and I'll pass on. She's on Facebook and her profile picture is on a grey PRE (Andalusian).

Hmmm I would say no it wasn't after time off in answer to your first question. Before, he was in 'harder' work more often and that is when he was 'going' better I would say. At the moment, the pressure is off a bit and he isn't doing as much. When he was going brilliant, he was working 5...

He has been trained over here with inside leg on with outside leg back. Which he does know.

Yes lots since this issue. He is EXACTLY the same on the lunge! usually, he is perfect on the lunge and not as accurate under saddle (rider error). So it is him not the rider. My sharer is also experiencing the same.

Thank you - yes exactly. Not him either, he's very clever and willing usually. You can see he gets in a tizz when he gets it wrong on the lunge. It's like he can't use left leg canter lead. He did get it right once over weekend - so I made him go forward. He groaned, moaned and squeeled...

I hope it is not PSD :-( I know exactly what that is because my other PRE was diagnosed and treated for this in both hinds. He does not look lame. His action behind is much better than in front I would say. His movement in walk and trot is good. Canter is fine (always been his weaker...

Yes this sometimes feels impossible for him as well. It's like hurling a bus around a school sometimes in canter! he is MUCH more forward going in the canter than he used to be though. Regarding his feet: when I imported him he was very long in the toe with no heel. Very badly shod. His...

He doesn't look at all lame though. He is also a horse that is better the more often he is ridden. He is doing less work than he was a few months ago I would say (was doing about 5 times per week, now about 4 times per week but not as hard work as before).

Thank you. I have tried super hard to ensure I'm asking him how he has been trained (and how he was performing it perfectly before). So very odd. He was like it all last weekend on the lunge. Out of about 6 right canters he got 1 right leg! Oh should have said, when I said wrong canter...

Absolutely :-) I am trying hard and he has been super. He is doing it on the lunge and that's never usually an issue. So I think it's safe to say it isn't how we're asking for it.
