Hiya,

my friend and I were hacking the other day and we noticed that her horse looks really strange going downhill.

Instead of bringing her legs under in one movement and walking she seemed to be flicking her hoof up, then bringing her leg under. She was doing this in both hind legs. She doesn't do it on the flat or going up hill. We tried walking her down a hill with no rider and she walked normally.

The horse is a 15.3hh TB mare and 6/7yrs old.

Any suggestions as to what it could be?

Thank you :)
