Katie,

I had almost the exact experience with my then 6 yr old Arab. It turned out 
the crupper was rubbing the sides of his tail almost underneath. It was the 
intersection of the biothane and the rubber on a Zilco crupper. I covered 
it, and have had no problems since.

His saddle very well may be the issue as a young horse's back is constantly 
changing: developing muscle, growing, losing baby fat, etc...so what may 
have fit three months ago may be a terrible fit now.

Your horse is trying to communicate pain in some fashion to 
you...listen..glad you are asking...!

> Hello,
> I am wondering if anyone can help me?  I bought a 6 yr old Arabian gelding

> great horse and a lot of fun to ride.  He is an ex Arabian race horse and 
> he has always had a lot of energy but been very controllable.  Well the

> getting worse.  The saddle fits him and I haven't changed any tack and I

> for a bucking gelding he had and it worked.  That doesn't seem like it 
> could be the problem but I am having that vet come out anyway.  If any one 
> has any ideas I would really appreciate it.
