Stuck him on the lunge to start with and he looked sound on both reins, happily popped himself into canter on the right rein, didn't seem to be holding himself to the outside at all. Just had him in normal tack, no side reins or anything. I didn't notice any head nodding at all and wouldn't have said he looked short. He is currently on one bute in the veenings.
Got on afterwards and walked him around, did some walk to halts and he seemed happy. Popped into trot on a completely loose rein and no sign of any head nodding. Picked him up into an outline and also felt ok so left it there. He felt quite lazy but I had no whip/spurs and was in jump saddle without proper boots on. He always turns fat and lazy after time off so not bothered by that.
Need to speak to vet on Monday and find out what the plan is from here.
