So I'm on the fence tryino to decide if it is just the way he is or if he has been trying to tell me he is sore..
First off he grew really fast and all of this started after the growth spurt. He kicks horribly in the trailer now when we are going slow or slowing down which when I boughthink him as a 3 year old he never did. Going on the interstate he stops.. when he is being lunged if I haven't rode him he kicks out with the same leg he kicks with in the trailed. Finally when I am riding him if I take him into a smaller turn to the left he kicks out with his inside right leg. Now if I make sure to lope him a good 20-30 min before the pattern in big long circles this seems to help. I am trying to decide if he is sore in that leg or hip or if he is just added a quirk to his list of things. . He has been adjusted 2 times and no changes.. thoughts...

MAYBE HE IS LOSING SOME FEELING IN THAT LEG AFTER BEING HAULED AWHILE AND RIDING A CERTAIN WAY. EPM ATTACKS THE NERVES MY HORSE LOST FEELING IN THE BACK END HE COULDNT EVEN FEEL A HORSE FLY BITING HIM THAT WAS DRAWING BLOOD.
