Why does he do this...................

[vicster]

My horse always seems to kind of scurry on his fore legs unless he is on an outline. I have had him checked by anyone and everyone - vet - saddle checks - physio etc and i know he has a little arthritis in his hocks but this is something totally different. He does find schooling quite difficult and i wondered whether it was because he was getting tired and lazy?

what do you mean by scurry?

 

[4whitesocks]

Is he just running on on you rather than working in a shape....

think it's easier than working properly for them...could just be laziness

If heso n the forehand its just laziness as its easier for them to do that rather than actually work properly! Also it could be him compensating for the athrtitis in his hocks? leaning on his front end and scurrying because sitting back hurts? just a thought i dont really know what you mean by scurrying
