Does anyone have experience with wither pain? On a barrel horse, what symptoms did you experience while on the pattern or otherwise? Treatment?

Unless your saddle has rubbed or pinched your horse's withers it's usually a sign of lower leg soreness , usually a problem in the foot.

This is absolutely what I thought my wither/shoulder issues turned out to be....foot pain.

Did any of your horses appear to be lame in the legs? Off? Mine feels good.

Mine did not feel lame in the leg at first, only in the shoulder/wither area but as the soreness in his foot progressed it showed up as what appeared to be leg lameness but that was actually the foot as well.

I was totally going to quote you from lessons you have taught me in the past! But here you are.

Mine didn't limp for the first couple of weeks after a new set of shoes, but then his runs would fall apart.  I couldn't keep him comfortable and couldn't pinpoint the issue.  One of the subtle symptoms that was always there is he would "shiver" his withers when I would put the saddle pad on or take it off.
