What do you think of this horse? I'm not buying, BTW

PF,

Basically wobblers is where the nerve that ruins through the spine is damaged in someway, most likely caused by an accident or a fall. An x ray will provide you with the best idea of if his spinal cord is comprimised in any way.

It can also happen whent hey are in the womb and lying in effectively the wrong position within the womb.

What does he do with his back legs when you ask him in hand to reverse in a straight line?

Well I like him!!

cant see what the problem is with him really, am I being blind?!

I just think he looks odd

Yes , he has a long canter, but its time people realised that not every horse has a naturally perfectly balanced canter

Woodys canter is the same, I'd be horrified if he was slated like this

TBF, I did ask people's opinions

I'm glad you like him though. He's a very nice ride

Re; this nerve damage thing- there is just no point in digging holes- as long as the horse is happy, comfty and enjoying his job and clearly improving then crack on! as soon as he is not enjoying it and not improving then you would start to be worried...

So far, definitely improving

Ah, I see. Well, I've not tried reversing him from the ground, but he reins back just fine.
