Tilly was seen on 12/9/24 for her initial session with me. Tilly has been a good all round
horse but has had various ailments including ulcers and seromas, she has some
melanomas around her dock and currently is looking to build back up to fitness and
compete in some dressage competitions. Saddle check underway. History of

the right side of her pelvis and an intermittent left hind inward rotation of the tarsus and
hip. She tracks up in walk and shows good rhythm. Slightly quarters left. Narrow base in
hindlimbs. Forwards and impulsive trot. Turning showed bracing of the back and neck, good
foot timing, placement and flight.
