What illness/injury could cause disunited canter?

[alpha1]

Hi,

My horse always goes disunited in canter, both on the lunge and when ridden.

I've not had her long and she is only 5yo. At first I thought it was lack of balance but I tried her on bute for 24 hours and she cantered correctly....we obviously have a pain related problem!

She has passed three 5* vettings in the last 18 months (she was imported from Ireland through a dealer hence number of vettings), she trots up sound after flexion tests and does not appear lame at any time.

Of course at some point I will need to call the physio/vet but if anyone can offer any opinions on what might be causing this i'd be most grateful. Thanks

I'd automatically be thinking about sacriollic [sp?...can never spell it] problems?

Get your vet to have a look as soon as you can.

Hope she ok

Have posted in new lounge but my mare goes disunited in the school and on the lunge, when on bute she is sound. the reason is slight arthritus in right hock, as I only hunt and hack I just give her danilon when she needs it and keep her out all year. She started this when she was 7.

I would say her pelvis could be out
