Horse looks like it has a cricked neck - what could it be?

My poor horse looks as if it has a horribly uncomfortable cricked neck when being lunged clockwise. He looks fine on the straight.
I know this is way above my knowledge so will be on the phone to the vet, physio and dentist in the morning in the hope they can come before lockdown, but in the meantime any similar experiences?

Sounds like could be a tooth issue or potentially arthritis in the neck. Is he the same when ridden?

Yes, he doesn’t feel right ?

Twisting or tilting the head is often indicative of hind end lameness. I would get the vet out before Thursday.

It was the first sign something was wrong with my mare's right fore. She was like a banana to the left and physio would loosen her up but she'd revert back quickly. Damage to the navicular bone on x ray but was never head boppingly lame - she's obviously compensating by twisting.
