A "Cold Back Horse" is a horse that his/her back instead of desensitizing it has been Sensitized by human because of some kind of damage to his/her back in his/her life in the past , it can be cured but needs patient trainer , time and no riding to desensitizing the Back.
How old is the damage and what kind of damage is a big factor also.

Cold Back Horse and their reflection:
When you go to their stable without any saddle or any kind of Horse Gear the Horse stands normally and no reaction but when you go with just a saddle PAD they react and the SPINE CURVES INSIDE the from the Tail to the Loin comes up the neck comes up or to one side mostly to the side where the object (saddle pad or the saddle) in our hand is approaching and the Back curves and goes down. This is the reaction of a Cold Back Horse. They now to react to what object because they know this object will be on their back the Horse did not know you want to put the Poor child on his/her back thats why did not react at first but it was a dangerous thing to do I am glad that the child is OK.

"Cold Back in horses" has its own definition and mostly about the horses gear some time in the past the gear has hurt the Horses back and it has left without treatment during time and nobody cared therefore gradually the horse becomes Cold Back.
