Question: Why does my 4 year old gelding get grumpy during his mounted work?
Dear Madeleine,

I have recently started riding my 4 year old gelding Monty. He is normally a very pleasant boy but sometimes gets very grumpy during his mounted work - which by the way is very light. Can you help me understand why this happens? Thank you!

Lorrie

Answer:
Lorrie,

Wow he's gorgeous! He's showing me he may have twisted his back a little and even though his work is light I feel he is in a little discomfort and is behaving that way to alert you to the fact that it needs addressing. I think he's either slipped or just jarred it fooling around! Perhaps you have a good equine physio near you or perhaps cranio-sacral or Bowen Therapy? Hope that helps.

Best wishes,

Response from Lorrie: Thanks Madeleine. I appreciate your thoughts! I actually have an equine chiropractor coming to evaluate him in a few weeks.
