From a certified equine massage therapist and equine chiropracter ---- How is saddle fit? What kind of pad is the trainer using? Is there proper warm up? How about cool down (a LOT) before he gets stalled? He should have plenty of time to move and roll after a ride before having to stand still. Is he forced into a false headset? Is he being tied down or around? Are his shoulders locked up from the saddle (bars of the tree) sitting on top of the shoulder blade (scapula) instead of behind it (which is what most people do - unknowingly).?. These are all of the questions I would ask because he should not need that many adjustments unless something is wrong. It could be something old that is surfacing because he is being ridden, but..... it could also be any of the things listed above or a combination of them. Thanks! :o)
