My little pony, who has a very chunky neck and is a bit of a hot-head is really starting to cause me concern. For the last few months whenever I work him in, before he is properlly "on the bit" he works in a really tight "head in the right place but not actually engaged outline." When he is doing this his breathing is really raspy - almost like a growl, however as soon as he softens and engages it goes.
So do we think he is evading the bit and doing something funky with his tongue which is obstructing his windpipe? Or has he got something really wrong with him? Any other ideas? Im thinking about getting the vet to have a look when he does his teeth next month?
