My pony has just started to swing his right hind leG underneath him in walk and trot. We think he has slipped in the field and pulled something does anyone else have any suggestions?

My horse did this, he is trying to counteract the pain and overcompensating by moving in an alternative way. Vet of physio, but needs to be done sharpish.
 
I used to have a Welsh D who started to do that (even took him to the vet for a work up). Vet didn't find anything on examination including X-rays of both back legs/hocks. He then (the horse, not the vet!) threw a high splint in his near fore a week or so later, so I wonder if he felt something going wrong and was compensating.
