I'm needing to get my ponies back checked but don't know who to use?
Not too sure what is wrong, but hes been resisting the bit a lot on the left rein, head in the air, something obviously wrong. Going to get his teeth checked too but don't know who to use for his back, should I be looking for a sports therapist or a chiropractor or osteopath etc...? Thanks in advance!

Ask your vet. It's against the law for anyone to carry out bodywork without veterinary permission (even if that is just the vet saying "Yes, go for it") -so easiest to go through them - and you know you won't be using a cowboy!
 
Since a physio/osteo/chiro etc can only work with vet approval I would suggest contacting your vet first of all and asking them to check your pony first. It may be that the signs you are not due to a back issue but something else such as lameness. If they feel an other professional would be a good idea they may have some one they can recommend.
