Slight lameness has been lurking in my boy - to assess him myself I have walked & trotted briefly on lunge. I believe the problem may be in near hind fetlock. This is what I see-
On left rein, in walk, you can see a slightly shortened stride on left hind. In trot, his stride looks very even.
On right rein, almost the opposite - walk looks balanced, trot is not, with shortening of stride on left hind apparent.
He is normally not balanced on right rein. Only six, so have been working on this. I could be completely wrong about fetlock, but has recently had small cut & also some mud fever- like symptoms, mostly settled now. Am resting/assessing for a couple of days & will call in vet if there is no improvement.
Does anyone have any similar experience of seeing such notable gait- lead differences?
