for the past few weeks iv noticed a slight change in math he seemed to be bolting and throwing his head up alot.so i got the dentist out nothing major had his teeth rasped ect.but still doing the bolting so i thought he could have a bad back a friend had alook at his saddle said it looks fiine on him and ect ( i do know shes not a proper saddler fittter but just wanted someone to have alook)
so gave him a week of and lots of stretching when i rode him i put his sheepskin back pad on to see if he felt better and did a lesson of stretching him for the next week but schooled him few days ago abit better but did bolt and have a few bucks so i though hmm his back but then he settled then last night i took him in the jumping paddock had him over a nice course of 1m /1m05 and he only stopped once but he was flying ... however his head was in the air and he didnt want to bend atall

im gonna get the saddle fitter but someone else said the ciropractor
who do i need? x
 
Honestly? I think you need both. Chiropractor first, then a good reputatble saddle fitter. What you describe does sound like it could be pain related.
