I made a post the other day about my horse being a pain when taking the bit out, and not letting go. http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=561835

It went from that, making the post, to a day of it coming off really nicely. To the next day when I do the same he reversed up still holding the bridle by the bit, reared up on the yard, and went all the way over as he slipped. :o

He is fine other then a very slight bump on his leg/shoulder area, where i think he cause the corner of the drain. Other then that completly sound.

Only now I cannot even get a finger in his mouth to have a look. :(

I had noticed his canines were possibly coming through with the bumps showing a bit, so I was going to bonjela them a bit for him. Cant even do that, to make things nice for him.

So I called the vet, and they are coming out tomorrow for a proper investigation. She said it could be a number of things, I could be teeth coming through, or wolf teeth issues, or an abcess, or a broken tooth. :( Just to name a few.

So pony is having a few days off while we find out exactly whats going on. to react like that he must have quite a bit of pain in there. :( Poor boy.

.... theres always something.
 
I had a horse that did this a few times - he had a teeth check and no issues.

When un-bridling, I used to undo the bit on one side before removing the bridle which seemed to solve the problem.

Hope your vet can shed light on the issue.
 
well Im now having the EDT coming out before the vet, as it works out cheaper to have the EDT and if its not that then go to the vet. although the EDT said it sounds like it may be his baby teeth coming out, and maybe there is an issue with the caps.

I could actually get my finger in his mouth again today, so maybe hes feeling a tad better.
 
Hope you manage to solve the problem with the EDT and vet. If he is feeling sore and doesn't want to be cooperative you may need to get the vet up to sedate so they can have a proper look.
