I rode the other day and my sister noticed my horses tail sits on the left noticeable only when ridden and this is a recent thing. she has also starting leaving a back leg occasionally. The only way i can describe it is if you or i had a bad back/hipand you trip you kind of gasp as she do it. I had her back done begining of april after a nasty fall we had. So i dont think its that but could it be her saddle? Recently had a new one but she has put on a little weight and it now wobbles on her? I thave started using her old one which fits her better but not perfect. Any advice gratefully recieved.
 
Just because you had her back done a month back doesn't mean it's not that. You said it's only just started. Get her back and tack checked. Something is obviously not right.
 
Sorry to say that it could well be her back. Did a vet see her after the fall? I would start with the vet who can look at the back and check for lameness and then go from there. Any saddle that wobbles is also a cause for concern.
 
I dont know what back person you used obviously but maybe go for a second opinion.
Two horses on our yard used one person, the 1st back person said they were in a mess and he needed to come out again and they needed tack checking.
2nd person did a few minor adjustments and said tack wasnt causing any probs and guy was talking guff!!
 
could have slipped out in the field, could be new saddle - I would definitely get a second opinion!

Thank you all for your replies, i did have the vet out and she said she was fine considering the fall we had up a step xc schooling she has seen lots of cases that have come of 10x worst, she was a little sore through the back if anything i had the back lady out a few weeks after who is very popular in this area and is highly rated and she said the same just needed a slight adjustment in her back. i should have said the fall was middle of march, i have made a few phone calls and her back and saddle are being done again very soon,
