completely agree TS and sometimes, when a horse suffers a repetitive strain type injury (tendons, ligaments etc), it was almost inevitable because the type of the horse and the job it was being pushed for were SO at odds.
Particularly relevant with the bigger, heavier cobby type breeds being asked to really sit and collect, or something very long and naturally weak being pushed in the same way.
or, as NMT sometimes scream at the computer-stop trying to make your bus in to a rally car!
bear in mind as well, that if you buy super huge movement, you have to be able to sit it, and influence it in the RIGHT way. someone without the balance and core strength to hold a huge mover on their seat ends up with a head nodding bridle lame trot and a lateral canter as they hang off their hands or half halt in the wrong moment. (no reflection on OP by the way, just something i see fairly often in general)
