Have a good farrier check out the ponys feet. They can tell you alot if they are really farrier educated.

On here we can only make some guesses. If, you can handle the pony look at the hoofs. Pick them up and look how they formed. It could be as simple as just needing to trim his hoofs. But, it could be more serious. If, there is a Farrier (Person that Shoes Horses) around close, maybe he come and give it a "Free" look. Depends on the kind of person he is. If it not the feet/hoofs you may need to try the Vet. If, people here could actually see and touch the pony we may could give you what the problem is. But, I feel most answers will give you a few "Ideas".

From my on experience this sounds like it could be one of two things...
When I was 12 my parents bought me my first horse, at first he was perfect in every aspect. But I started to notice he wouldn't walk much at times. He would be fine one day then would stand in the same spot most the day refusing to move and when he did walk he would limp bad. The vet came out and told me that he was Foundered.
My boyfriend's dad bought a cattle horse dirt cheap because he did just as your pony, he would be fine one day then limping the next. He checked his feet... Nothing. Then one day he decided to look a bit deeper and closer. He cleaned his foot really good and began poking and digging around. He then found a small piece of glass hidden just below the surfs of his foot right beside the frog. He got it out and kept the foot doctored for several days. The horse never had any more problems from his feet after that.

appears like she has had some undesirable reviews and it incredibly is how she has found out to avert what harm her. She must be sore from getting used too plenty and by too many. it is a foul habit that desires to be corrected. according to possibility scaling down on how plenty she is used ought to help. i'm hoping this pony does not chew you, it hurts. Kicking is truthfully one among the flaws I hate maximum, this pony can harm you with a properly-placed shot at you. Take care and tell somebody approximately how this pony reacts. If it incredibly is occurring to you, you do no longer make some thing out of no longer something. it is a few thing that desires to be dealt with. safeguard your self and please be on shelter around this pony.

Proabably the veins in the back legs have some kind've dialation after intense work, causing a lack of oxyegn to that area. I recommend that you masage the sore area, helping the veins in-large.
