Kris -
>>1) What could be causing a horse's back to be sore if both poor saddle fit
and poor rider riding has been ruled out? Who would I get to check her out?
(chiro, vet, ???)

>>4) Has anyone out there had their horse reach up and kick his front tendon
with his rear leg? Mine has done this 2x earning a 6 month rest (vet thought
that he had bowed it) and now an 8 week rest. It's good to learn he wasn't
bowing it, but tough being side tracked AGAIN. What kind of recovery things
did you do with your horse?
>> Thanks,

>>P.S. For Kat - that TB mare of mine EASILY walks at 5.5 mph. I can't walk
fast enough to keep up and I run regularly!!

>Kris - Just some thoughts: how did you rule out saddle fit & poor riding?
If these really are out of the picture, sore back plus your #4 would seem to
indicate a conformation problem or a shoeing problem that needs attention
from a journeyman level shoer.
