hiya wonder if you can help my friend with some possible suggestions

The horses carried with it's head permantly to the right ??? nerve damage ? a type of syndrome ? ear trouble ? ( i do assume it's just when ridden) i have no really history apart horse was new to rider and i have no other background at all .............

The horse has obviously got 2 be vet checked, but any ideas.....

Mine guess is kissing spine........ anything wierd and wonderful spring to mind?

thx
 
Could be something simple. Could just be the backs out of line or the pelvis. Maybe the horse has taken a fall in the field or a slip and just put the back out. A good chiropractor may be able to sort out. It could be contributed to by the rider, being stronger in one hand or something silly x x x
 
I personally wouldnt say kissing spine. I would get a vet first and then get vet to recommended a good chiro, but i should think something along the lines of horse has had an accident and jarred itself so now holding head badly. (Maybe it got cast in the stable?) Im assuming horse has not always done it?

problem is it was new ride to rider and i don't know full story. All i know aswell it was new to yard so i know there are so many things that it could be....... But from what i've been told it sounds like an underlying medical condition.

But it needs vet sort pdq, but rider out of action for long time and prob will have to give up riding completely!! very sad story.........
 
Does it do it all the time? As in in the field? How does it stand? Does he eat ok?

My first guess would be to hope for an ear/ tooth infection. Fingers crossed nothing more sinister.
