I know something on this subject was done recently but just wanted some thoughts on the matter:- A brief history of me and Syd - I started looking after him about 14 months ago when the owners husband was really poorly They had 3 others and were looking to sell him. He hadnt been backed and he was 6 years old but I fell in love with this gorgeous arab instantly. He had never really had any attention and I think he loved being loved by me. I have a wonderful friend who has worked with horses all her life and she offered to come and see if he would let her get on him. After a join up and a good old rub she got on him n he was as good as gold. I asked a saddler to come and fit a saddle for him and she said his back was so tight it was worrying A back specialist also said she thought I should get xrays. In the meantime I asked my back man if he would come and look at Syd (he does horses as well) Within 5 mins he said the problem was in his poll. He had got his head stuck in a hole as a foal (being the nosey bugger he is). Got vet to sedate him and back man did 1 hours manipulation and he was like a different horse. I have since bought him, but moved yards as the people who did own him became a bit jealous of the way he was performing and were interferring a bit too much. Anyway I would love to know how he feels about being ridden and if he is still in any pain (he shows no signs of it when being ridden, just still building up muscle in his haunches and learning to be a bit looser in his back through muscles not being used for 6 years) I would also like to know if he is happy as the new yard. Im not sure he is. He just wants to play and none of the other horses do (theyre all older horses) but hes only been there about 4 months and wouldnt want to stress him by moving him again. Do you think an animal communicator would be worth a try. Promise Im not doolally, just want the best for Syd
