I am sure I read something about this on here but cannot find it. I think it was in a mostly unrelated post. Something about the shoulder being attached differently?
Anyway, little rising 6yo mare is now 2 inches higher behind than in front. She had been going beautifully; now she doesn’t know how to get those back legs underneath without falling over them! Poor baby was kind of leaping in canter to get the front end high enough to get them under today - so we schooled until she had normal-ish paces then left it at that.
So I am mildly fed up (because all the hard work we both put in is on hold until she catches up with herself) and wondering curiously why they always grow behind first…
Can anyone enlighten me?
