- Jumping fast and flat over fences instead of basculing properly, or uncharacteristically starting to refuse altogether.
- Unwillingness to work on the bit, or on a circle and hollowing the back.
- Reluctance or inability to strike off on the correct leading leg in canter.
- Reduced impulsion from behind, sometimes dragging the toes.
- Becoming aggressive e.g., bucking, rearing, kicking or biting in order to avoid being ridden.
