Mounting has become uncomfortable for him.  He may have a rotated ribcage,
sprung rib, withers out, shoulder(s) out or even a vertebrae out of whack.

Horses were never designed to be mounted and the leverage and torque of the
mounting process can easily pull things out of whack.

I have lost my link for finding chiropractic practitioners.  I know I have 
posted it
here before, perhaps someone has saved it and would repost it.
