Hi all, not posted for a while! Just having an odd problem with my horse, owned for 7 years broken by myself! She works well in a nice light outline in walk and trot but over the last few months she's being very stiff in her neck in canter and along her back, but floats along in trot and it is only in the canter where I have issues. It started in the summer, had her annual teeth and back check to which had some work and were fine. Recently vetted for new insurance so she has been checked by vet in the last month and is considered sound and healthy. Her saddle was checked in March but saddler is booked to come out in January to check. She is ridden in a NS starter bit.
She had a bit of time off due to personal illness so is it just that she needs to develop more muscle or do I need to work her differently/other exercises to improve this to get as good an outline in the canter as well as the other paces. Help please, or tips for schooling to improve this.
Thanks in advance
