I don't know, but I suspect not. 

She's very bendy side to side (for instance, I regularly
see her scratching itches on her rear leg by bending her
head around to it. She'll also turn her hear around to my
foot when I'm riding her).

I know side to side movement is different to up and down - but 
I don't think of her as being a stiff horse. She's 5 and we've
only just started riding lightly, if that's any help.

Could it be she just hasn't figured out what I want? Or
that her back muscles are too weak at this stage to be
able to lift it more than imperceptably.
