very interesting and i agree entirely with wot hes saying. There are many horses that are written off as being naughty when they have problems. Luckily most of the people I know with their horses recognise when their horses are trying to tell them something.
My girl started to act odd last yr, head tossing, not wanting to move forwards, napping out hacking and backing off her fences, she was also grumpy and uptight on the ground. Turns out her saddle didnt fit her and she was in agony with back pain. Anyway she had time off, a good osteopath and is being ridden in a saddle company saddle and she is a completely different horse now so calm, happy and willing
That's a really interesting video. And so true, there are so many of these horses that have been written off when they are really in pain. They do try and tell us but sometimes we are just a bit dumb
