horse got kicked on hock 7wks a go was on boxrest for a month wasn't lame on it at any point has now been back in work 3wks been going really well until this wk when did short amount of school work and was really resistant and unwill esp on right rein then the nxt day for the first time (had since jan) napped quite badly on way out on hack and was really sticky through out, nxt day wanted to see what see was like school agian notbad on left but not infront of the leg and constannntly backing off not going truly forwards again worse on right rein so then decided nxt day to lunge to see her from floor without rider really gd left rein but right rein keept spooking shooting off and bucking.
seems sound on leg so unsure its that
two wks ago changed her to natural balance shoes and got her new saddle so not sure if any of these would cause this behaviour.
think she may have been in season at least at the begining of the wk but she has not behaved like this before when in saeson.
so who knows........

any seggestions?????
p.s got vet coming to do teeth and double check leg this wk
 
Good idea to check teeth, saddle too as she may have changed shape in the 7 weeks boxrest. When my mare had been out of work for similar amount of time, she was very spooks for several weeks until she turned "normal" again. chances are she is stiff on one side after box rest and no schooling for so long, just take it easy and I'm sure she'll come good
 
she had her saddle checked when she came bk in work so shouldn't be that. she was fine the first few wks hopinf it is either where she was in season ,teeth or just something and nothing rather than an under lying issue. have tosee what vet says nxt wk.
thanks.
