Is your horse ever stiff, uncharacteristically lazy or difficult to turn? Has your horse had back pain, acute or persistent or recurring? Has he ever had incorrectly fitting tack? Does your horse lean or pull against the hand? Is he ever one-sided or crooked? Does he ever drag his toes or have an uncomfortable canter? Has he ever had difficulty getting the correct lead, or landing on the correct leg? Does he ever show napping, uncharacteristic bucking, irritation or sensitivity when saddling or grooming?
