Not sure if any of you remeber my post the other week about my horse going over backwards with a sore back!! Well to continue the story the chiropractor came back out and found something else wrong and that seemed to fix the problem. He was working ok with a few funny moments and thinking about it he felt funny occasionally but (just to confuse me) last week I had a lesson and he was the best ever, but since then he has not been very happy to go into a contact and the last couple of days in canter he has been putting his head up and twisting his neck, and almost going over on himself again not sure what to do - Had saddle checked last week and saddler said it was perfect.
Do I:
Call the chiropractor back agian
Get another back person to look (any names in northamptonshire, beds gratefully recieved)
Call the vet- But not sure what they can do???
Really worried about him
Thabks if you have got this far

call the chiropractor again, definitely. if they made a difference last time, they have found where the problem (hopefully the main/only one) is, and can do so again hopefully.
i wouldn't ride him till the chiro can check him again. what kind of saddle do you have on him? i think if there's room i'd put a prolite under it... he's reacting very extremely to something.
if he doesn't feel right in walk and trot i wouldn't canter, either... i didn't see your original post and don't know if he was under saddle when he went over backwards, but he reacts very extremely and might do so again.
it might take a few treatments to get to the bottom of the problem, i should think.

Just comming in on this thread so not sure of all the facts but, if he has had 'something out' with his back neck etc might he have a sore muscle as he would have been compensating for however long he had been wrong for. It might take a few sessions and some light work/ rest/ time/ stretching exercises before his totally right again. Just a thought. Hope he comes right soon.
