Here is some history,
a week and a half ago i had my horses pelvis done after a previous injury when she was 2 before i had her. i have it done every 4/6 months and with instruction of back lady i was told to carry on as normal, so i went xc schooling jumping about 80cms the day after on the saturday and on the sunday my horse (rosie) had swollen fetlock joints and looked wrong in her action behind put it down to fetlocks, anyway had vet out and she said they are wingalls and she looked fine which i agree she did when she came out (typical). so she said carry on obviously take it slow on the hard ground which i have. Anyway lunged her monday and she looks wrong again behind but this time i think it is higher up, rode her today and she started off wrong but then felt normal after standing on the yard i took her to her field and she looked wrong again. now i am supposed to be competing on the 5th of june but obviously dont want to if my horse is wrong but the thing is the back lady has been the vet has been and both have said carry on. so i dont know what to do i really dont want to cause any long term damage. do i carry on riding her slowly and see how it goes get back lady/vet back out. or give her more time off she has had a week off from the day after i went schooling. any thoughts welcome
thank you.
one last thing if i press down either side of her tail she tucks up is this normal?
