Have a feeling my boy has done something to his back end- slipped over in the field a few weeks ago (nothing new there 
) I thought he looked a little lame one evening but I had a busy weekend, gave him a day off and he seemed fine. Due to other allergy problems haven't really ridden him and have just lunged him in walk and trot in the arena as surface not the best atm. Took him in the field yesterday (taking advantage of dry weather) and he was completely unable to canter on the right rein, managed left ok (which is normally his worst rein) but when I asked him on hte right he tensed up, started blowing, and just kept bucking and bucking, then did a few disunited strides and came back to trot. He hasn't been backed that long and he does enjoy a nice buck (rodeo style!) but I'm thinking there's definitely something wrong!
Have always used Sue Tracey but have been having trouble contacting her, and we've just moved east of Colchester and not sure if she comes out that far? Anyone got any recommendations? Other boy's back could do with a usual check as well as he's good at putting minor things out of place

would like it sorted soon so he doesn't forget what a rider is, don't want to have to re-back him
