How lame is this horse ?

I thought it was near fore and near hind, both intermittent and as the video when on, she seemed less stiff.

My horse was more lame than that with his side bone last year. Remedial farriery sorted that out and he is now fine.
 
I thought she was putting her near hind down funny when I first watched it, I thought she looked unlevel behind.

Looked like she was hitching through her right hind, very common to find that if a horse has a problem behind it will show up on the diagnol in the front. If a horse is unsound back and front my vet treats the hind limb lameness first as a general rule.
 
Left fore and right hind if you ask me but then I am known for thinking sound horses are lame! Mine was only 1/10th lame and most people couldn't see it but I knew he wasn't right. Let us know how it goes.
 
If anything I see lameness in the hind not in front, but it is really hard to tell from the video. Often perceived lameness in front actually comes from behind. Have you have her nerve blocked? This often shows they are lame in a completely different leg. Good luck with it any way.
