What should you do when riding a horse (English) that tenses up often when asked to speed up, slow down, or change gait? My horse has arthritis, before I started giving her liniments and stretching exercises a month ago that freed her movement, she developed a habit of tensing up when the aids were applied because it used to make her feel more sore. She isn't sore in hand or on lunge, only when ridden bareback or under saddle, halter or bridle.
