Wierd canter?

[SusieJane]

Whilst lunging BB today, she was going quite nicely ~ not as well as she can do, but okay ~ but when I was asking for left rein canter she was striking out with her inside/lead leg like it was extending, but the rest wasn't doing anything like it

It looked bit bizarre, and I've checked her all over, no signs of tightness, pain, swelling etc. She's sound. I just wondered if it's a good or bad thing?

Any advice gratefully received. x

my sisters horse does something similar if he's not getting his own way - we call it 'angry foot' - and its basically just fustration on his part. unfortunately telling him off doesn't help and makes it worse sometimes!

thats prob not much help though! sorry!

Is she young? My young horse some-times does this when ridden - but she is only just learning to canter so I think it is greenness.
