Long story short from the knees up he is in amazingly good nick :@)
Bit of tightness in the neck which she released off, he has *very* odd hamstrings in that one of them (forget which one) on both sides has become fibrotic. Suspect more fusion of more spinous processes as he now has no back mobility.
N did some Polo stretches with him and Fred was 'can't be asssed' so went and located a carrot and suddenly he is highly motivated and my goodness can he stretch, hard to believe he is 24 looking at his range of movement.
N thinks hamstrings connected to fused spinous processes and was amazed given extent of fusion he was asymptomatic.
Fetlock mobility slightly limited and pastern limited too on fronts.
N happy for me to start riding him should I so desire and just be guided by Fred.
I do like N she was with him for two hours and this is the first body worker where he hasn't snapped the air, so made me out to be a big fat liar :@) having warned N of this tendency. No idea if N didn't go in 'so hard' as others but clearly he enjoyed it and was offering to mutual groom with me and really seemed to let N in.
Bless the Fredster, he is such a lovely pony
So carrot stretches and passive leg stretches
