i am in need of some advice!
my horse doesnt track up very well in her hind, her back left is fine but her beck right comes out slightly. we had the vet out and she said many horses do this and its nothing to worry about. i have recently been riding her more and she is getting tense when i put her saddle on and going to bite the wood when i tighten her girth, it is very tight at first as she blows out and i dont blame her for being in discomfort, but i am going to get her a new saddle and get the saddler out and get them to fit it to her. do you think its anything to worry about? shes never lame and otherwise has great paces and a good jump. and when i groom her back or press places it doesnt bother her at all even when i really poke it! im a little worrier and keep panicing it could be arthritis but the vet has said she highly doubts it, could it just be back problems and needs a new better fitted saddle?
 
Consult an Equine Osteopath for a second opinion. They will observe your horse's movement and suggest any treatment necessary
Make sure that they contact your vet first for permission to treat your horse (all the good ones will do this as a matter of course)
