Re: [RC] [RC] Stumbling horse - Dawn CarrieCarla,
Two possibilities come to mind. One, you mentioned that he's a little thinner than usual. Could it be that the saddle is now not fitting as well - perhaps impinging on his withers? I'm assuming he's stubbling with his front feet, from your description. However, you mentioned that on the 10 mile ride, the day after he went to his knees, he didn't stumble...so that doesn't sound like saddle fit.
My second thought, especially given the suddenness of him going to his knees, is some sort of chiropractic issue...something getting pinched and causing him to stumble. You might try getting him adjusted by an eqine chiro and see if that helps.
Best of luck...
Dawn
