Hi I would most definately be interested in this. I have a 16.2hh TB Mare called Star, She is 13 this year. I have had her 6 months now and before I got her she wasnt treated entirely right so she was very underweight and hadnt really been worked in 2 years so had virtually no muscle.
I had a physio out who said she had an old injury to her shoulder which meant she had virtually no movement in her right shoulder and that side of her body. The physio solved this there and then but I do not know how the injury was caused and I also think there is some sort of remembered element in her mind that she thinks things like having her saddle put on is going to hurt and also being mounted. She is also hesitant over jumps which makes me wonder if this is how her injury was caused.
I do not know anything about her past or anything she has done and she doesnt seem to enjoy working which is really frustrating me as I try to give her varied work so she doesnt get bored to easily.
My name is Mel Baker.
Here is a picture I took about a week ago.
