Do you even think there is such a thing as "bridle lame" if not why not?
If so, do you have any experiences in the past with Horses that were bridle lame?
I am asking for a reason, not just being nosey.
See my Horse had a very weak hind, due to that she ended up with a stifle problem. She had steriod injections and pysio and has been built up slowly. She is completly sound out hacking. She walks, trots and canters and loves being out and about. In the school however, she is lame. Although she is still happy to go forwards, she just feels "off". If this happens, I stop schooling straight away and go for a hack instead as I don't want to push her. Vet, RI, YO says there is no reason for her to be lame in the school (providing I don't over do it) I wanted to school once a week only. Do you think she has learnt that if she "pretends" to be lame she gets out of schooling? or am I just kidding myself here? my vet has trotted her up and said she looks fine.
I have been the only one to school her, so I have roped an experienced friend into riding her later on tonight, just to see if Ruby acts any differently for a different rider.
