Can a horse 'put it on'? UPDATE

For those of you who followed my previous thread here: http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?620854-Can-a-horse-put-it-on

The answer is 'No'.

I am so pleased her owner and myself stuck to our guns and insisted there was a pain issue with this mare. I said to the vet a couple of days ago that she felt like a horse with kissing spine (as I've ridden a few!). Yesterday they xrayed her spine which had been fine 3 years ago and she has some very close processes with two overlapping, right where the saddle sits. Bless her. She had been trying to tell us in the only way she knew how. So pleased we listened. Now I just hope we can get her right.

Poor mare, but well done to you and the owner for sticking up for her and listening to her.

Fingers crossed that she can be fixed and will be pain free and back in ridden work in the future.

I hope so. I am pleased that we have found something that explains her behaviour, but I hope she has more luck with her treatment than two others have on my yard. I am also wondering if having a foal has possibly caused the problem?
