Is your horse trying to tell you that he needs a massage? 

• Does he pull faces when you put his saddle on?
• Does he pull faces when you do his girth up or mount him?
• Does he buck when he is ridden?
• Does he struggle with a certain canter lead?
• Does he complain when you rug him up?
• Is he reluctant to go forward when you are riding him?
• Does he display discomfort when you first get on?
• Do you feel he could work just a little bit better?

If you can answer YES to any of the above then your horse is probably not being awkward but is probably in discomfort and in pain.
