Basil going lame

3rd video. This is the 3rd video. He goes lame about 20 seconds in just as he trots in front of the camera. He goes lame every time he's exercised at around 15 minutes. I don't normally push for the lameness and will stop under 15 minutes before he goes lame. I don't usually work him as hard as I have for the purpose of the 3 videos either. But I wanted to see what happens when he goes lame.

Please feel free to comment on why you think he's gone lame.

(He's had bone scans, x-rays, ultra sound, blood tests, pelvic scans and many more, vets do not know why he'd going lame, he goes lame on a lunge too.)

Yeah its probably his back that is not strong enought to carry that much pressure. Try a German Martingale and what this dos is that it sits its head to flex at the poll and to have its head equal to the height of its withers and that will give it strenght and little by little he'll get stronger. By the way, what are the mirrors for. (just curious)

Might not help at all but it did for me so it could be worth a try!All myvids are old btw so hes no completly sound in them.

Sorry about all the comments... wouldnt fit in one!!

told me to work him much lower at home and more relaxed so his poll is lower than his withers which strengthens thier back. Ive been doing this for a couple of months and he is 100% sound all the time now. So it could be he has a bit of a weak back (you can test by runnng your first finger and thumb down thier spine and applying preesure and if they dip thier back it means they are slightly weak).

My horse was a bit like this too a while ago.. We took him to a physio at west wilts called tex gamble (in Wiltshire not sure how far that is for you) and he put him right. He was okay for about a month and then it came back (we too had x rays etc...) we went back to the guy we brought him off and he said it was the way I was working him.. (very much the same way you work him). He
