Lovely horse started to refuse show jumps a year ago. We had back, teeth etc done and gradually started jumping again. He was going brilliantly, happy and cheerful. He's started stopping again and jumping awkwardly. After a training session at the weekend when he stopped again and again, he was covered in sweat by the end :-(
He's not lame at all. Teeth and mouth all good. Saddle looks fine.
To complicate matters he will happily jump xc, a bit awkward over the first two then fine.
Vet can't see anything wrong - he's just been and suggested a bute trial
Instructor says naughty - but I don't necessarily buy that. When I see naughty ponies they tend to stop or swerve but then jump nicely if they are told firmly!
I am obsessing over him and would love some opinions?
