Just thought I'd add - I'm not saying what my thoughts are, or what I'm looking for deliberately - so I don't influence any opinions/thoughts that anyone has!
Please "say what you see" and enjoy some tea and crisps :D
 
I know I answered on fb, but I thought I would answer here too. My opinion is that she doesnt look right in front, specifically her off fore, but she looks footy and uncomfortable in front generally.
I fully expect someone to come along and point out that she is lame behind and sound as a pound in front and I will slink off into the corner that people who cant detect lameness very well have to reside in :p
 
I agree and think off fore, worse on a circle with that leg on the outside and not too bad in a straight line at all.

I don't think she looks overly 'footy' or pottery. More like she might be on a slight hill and when going down the slope is taking shorter steps as she isn't 100% confident in her grip?
 
Lame on her off fore. Worse as Jess says worse on a circle.
In the 1st video it looks like her shoulder is not quite right. She been kicked?
 
The thing which I'm desperately concerned about, is that I don't want to ignore something which could be something worse. I guess all horse owners feel like that, but because of all the foot issues we have had previously, I'm hugely *touchy* about any issues with her.

She has massive sidebones, quite equally on both feet. Sometimes I wonder if it's those?

Not recently as she's been at home with my ponies (both mild as heck) however, she was once, out of interest, which shoulder?

Also, when she had her "injury" in Nov, farrier mentioned something in passing about her saying that often horses with bad feet, the injury would be in the shoulder and everyone would still be looking at the foot.
 
Ok, well that wasn't the shoulder she was kicked in (nor the original leg she came in hopping lame on, in Nov)
However, it's not unthinkable to think that now we are righting her awful feet, maybe it's thrown her shoulder out.

What would I try in order to check that out? Vet/Chiro/Oesteo... all of the above?
 
I'd ask the farrier his opinion. Then Vet, and chiro.
If the farrier has done serious corrective work he will know if its likely to have caused what you are seeing now.
 
I would go down the route of a physio as to me it looks like its coming from the shoulder as others mentioned and possibly a tightness from muscle or as you said she had been injured before she could have been compensating and has now caused damage to something else because of this.

would that be likely 5 months later?
