Hey there, just received your comment on TJ in my "barn". What a total spin out. TJ would have been 10 this year. He was such an awesome boy, we never got a chance to put him under saddle, unfortunately. It looks like your Trojan is quite an athletic boy :)

Is it arthritis, a scar from a cut, or both? The scar didn't cause the arthritis... If she's sore in a hind leg, there is little wonder that she struggles in canter, particularly on turns, and...

Sometimes when you rescue a horse, whatever "bad" they experienced in their lifetime just can not be washed away and sometimes you never figure out what triggers a reaction. I am very sad to say...

None of this helped? It's only been a day! Have you tried the raised logs/poles for a couple of weeks yet? How many times have you taken him over uneven terrain on a loose rein -- a couple dozen? Gee...

Can't fight genetics.

I've decided those videos are all fakes and heavily edited!
