Check the right side as well - in order to bend left he has to stretch his right side. Can he bend on long reins?   Sue Courtney Member Username: Calykins Post Number: 5 Registered: 07-2008 Posted on Thursday, 14 April, 2011 - 9:28 am:    also have the back checked especially the neck as I had a mare who wouldnt bend left and her atlas was out, had it manipulated and problem went away.   Helen Bridges Member Username: Dobbin Post Number: 5 Registered: 08-2009 Posted on Wednesday, 13 April, 2011 - 5:35 pm:    have you had his teeth checked?   spud taylor Member Username: Steptoes_sisters Post Number: 1 Registered: 04-2011 Posted on Wednesday, 13 April, 2011 - 1:11 pm:    my pony refuses to bend to the left when i am turning left.
