Hi,

I am bringing our TB back into work after a long lay off due to navicular. He is sound and has had teeth, back and saddle checks all with a green light. We are currently doing a lot of walk with a small amount of trotting.

We have got over the spooky nature of everything which has allowed me to practice my stunt riding ! He is calm and willing in the school. On the right rein he raises his head, tenses his neck and flexes it to the left whilst his body falls in to the right. He obviously finds it difficult and is not being 'naughty'.

Can anyone recommend any good exercises to help ?

Thanks very much.
