basically a sore shoulder, as in muscle type sore? horse slightly unlevel on it


Said rug is a tight across shoulders/chest area

Although it has shoulder gussets they seem to be too far back, which also says its too tight

horse is not happy with me putting the rug on, tries to bite (not him at all) BUT he is fine with any other rug
 
most def it can hun - like a bad fitting pair of shoes think of pressure where they are tight - i know as wearing some for work at mo lol - like a bad fitting saddle a rug can put pressure and cause pain :) xx

yes!!!! definitly!!! all signs are pointing towards it too! his movement will be impaired, so if he tries to stretch it will put pressure on the area causing pain.

Thanks I thought that would be the case but didn't want to be paranoid

So anyone want to buy a nearly new PE 200g combo in 6ft lol or swap for 6 3
