maybe he has back problems if he's bucking like that.

Polysuratic Storage Myopothy (PSSM). From the way I understand it, the disease is kind of like diabetes except it affects the muscles not the organs. You have to change the diet and take out all green grass out of the equation. I never got him fixed, tried for almost 4 years. Finally traded him off WITH full disclosure of all his issues. He is in Florida now, poor guy has been through 5 homes since I got rid of him about 2 years ago. :(

by the way he's a beautiful boy and you can tell he respects the handler, he didn't run her over and was respectful even as the handler cinched him up. What a good horse :)

Yes, he should be fine. I will know more about his withers next week. But the PSSM is manageable with a change in diet and exercise. I will post more about his withers after his appointment next week. Thanks for the nice words!

Found out that he has PSSM and a fractured vertebra in his withers. Thanks everyone that tried to help!
