Hi, I'm really interested to hear your opinions please. I have a new horse. Big 17h Irish hunter type. Lovely genuine boy, vetted before purchase. Has been with me a few weeks now. Always been a bit bitey towards horse ridden next to him on hacks. Has just started kicking out to RHS on transition from walk to trot (always this side). Serious, extreme action, sometimes compounded with a spin to the LHS. Saddle checked and fine (new). No obvious visible muscle issue. I have physio booked for next week and am thinking:

Sacroiliac issue
Suspensory
Back issue
Ulcers

Definitely in that order as he's not your typical ulcer prone horse.

Will obviously follow physio by vet but interested if anyone has experienced anything similar. TIA
