Poor Benji

Earlier this week the vet came up to see if she could find the reason for his bucking. When we trotted him in a straight line he was fine but when we lunged him on a circle both his fore legs were lame. So we nerve blocked him on one foot and suddenly that foot was clear after injecting local anaesthetic into the fetlock area. This therefore means that it's probable Benji has arthritis from when he was jumped heavily as a young horse therefore causing him pain when I ride him causing him to buck me off.
