Need ideas please!!!

[Libster92]

I have a 5yr old Irish sport horse X TB, she travelled badly over from Ireland and put her neck and back out so I had the physio out who put her back to 'normal', then I started her flatwork training using the Pessoa, which has worked wonders. But unfortunately she over reaches and brushes badly, she has scars on her front and back legs, from previous injury so I'm not able to ride her without boots on or risking injury to her...
My plan is to compete her this season, I'm mainly interested in sj and xc, with the odd ODE, but obviously I can't wear boots/bandages during the dressage test...
Does anyone have any ideas/exercises on what I could do or what will help???
She engages her back end and works well in an outline now, I was hoping she would 'grow out' of over reaching once she muscled up and worked correctly, however she hasn't changed
Is there going to be any hope for us to do a dressage test?
Thanks.

I'd speak to your farrier, there maybe something he can do to assist.

There may be a limited amount your farrier could do.. other than that I'm not too sure but atleast it bumps the post : )

Oh, just seen above!

My farrier has trimmed her back hooves as much as he can, but the extent she over reaches it hasn't made any difference... Someone said to try her with no back shoes on but as I want to focus mainly on jumping, I'm going to need studs.. :/

You may just have to stick to jumping for now. I don't know if it'd be worth asking if you can get a dispensation from your vet for over-reach boots in the dressage phase though?

Just asked bf (he is a farrier). Said it'll be caused by conformation/fatigue/unfitness/heavy going/overdue for shoeing, as I'm sure you're aware. There are things your farrier can do if isn't already like fitting hind shoes with quarter clips and regaining hpa.
