when I was helping teach the lesson the other day, I noticed that Devon, a 14 year old Morgan, had what looked like REALLY stiff back legs. The movements was REALLY jerky and he didn't seem to be reaching as far as he should/could.
I bought this matter up to the BO and she said that it also looked stiff....but the girl riding him said that that was just "him".
Now to me, having a horse with stiff legs can't just be "them"...and it's not normal.
He's a gaited Morgan if it helps at all, but it just seems weird that his great moving, strong, and powerful Morgan would have stiff legs.
Any way to help "unstiff" (lol) them? Is this something we should be worried about?
