Hi,
New horse is being a bit "off" with her left hand side and I'd like to get somebody out to check her over/fix any problems - but I've lost our usual back ladys name & number so was hoping you could recommend me someone "tried and tested" who knows what they're doing and who is in the Shropshire area!
Also not sure whether I need a physio / chiro.......?
Whats happening: She's very reluctant to let me mount from the left hand side, but is absolutely fine if I get on from the right. She point blank refuses to bend to the inside on the left rein, and really seems to struggle to keep a circle on the left - initially I thought it was lack of schooling but she's completely fine on the right. She also throws in huge bucks in trot to canter transitions on the left rein and sometimes mid canter too (only in the school) - again, initially thought she was just excited to be doing something after a bit of a break but now after having her for a week I'm having second thoughts, I'm sure this behaviour means there must be some discomfort there and the last thing I want is for her to be in pain - I've poked and prodded her and she doesn't seem bothered, but I'm definitely no pro!
Thank you x
