Pony's Back- Does This Mean Anything?

[clara81]

Hi, a lady on my yard lent me a Likit Boredom Breaker last night for my ponies (I have two ponies in a big cattle-pen style stable) cos her horse isn't interested in it. The Exmoor was terrified of it, predictably, but the Sec A just kept walking under it so the ball was balanced on her back and then just standing there. She was still doing it this morning. She didn't seem to be trying to rub on it or anything, she just liked it being on her back. Could it be a sign that she's got a sore back or am I just paranoid?

I would have thought that the last thing she would want to do if her back was sore would be to balance something on it, so hopefully just paranoia!

It may just be something as simple as she wants an itch there, and is hoping she can use that!

Ok thanks! I always think she's got a bad back for some reason, don't know why- she's barely done a day's work all her pampered life lol!
