something seems off with the right hind, somewhere in the stifle to hock area. Not below the hock area. It's most noticable the first time cantering

I must not be able to see video light enough, as is very dark, I can tell there is a hitch, but can't pick up for sure near/off side hind, as just too dark.

I am wondering stringhalt? Also had horse that had slight bone chip in fetlock that moved similar to this. I am going to watch it a few more times, see if can get lighter.

But stockings are so even, I cannot pick up which leg, and one of the fetlocks/pastern areas bothers me, seem to not be flexing well. I don't know how to lighten up the thing, so could see better.

Adding this, I enlarged video, and still dark, but not as bad, and can't tell if just as camera moves, but horse looks off very slightly in left front. Not much, and just when get a fairly good look, then it hits a darker area, and have to refocus on horse.

The right hind is lagging and has a swinging action to it. The video is aweful dark but it seems that the horse has a problem with the right hind. Rupture of the Peroneus Tertius tendon can cause a similar gait prolem, partial dislocation of the patella can create a similar gait. I wish there was a way to lighten the video so I can see more. The horse doesnt want to travel on the right side either he automaticaly turned to his left side..

I'm going to throw a rough guess here, I'd need more time he he...
pelvis?

Right hind, hock/stifle. He is letting it drag and not putting weight on that hock at all. I am tempted to say he's done something to the peronius tertius (the attachment that controls the synchronization of the hock and stifle movement, extensor), maybe strained it.

This is what I was thinking. Possibly a sore hock?

all4him · 10-31-2009, 09:35 AM

Yep - Watching it again today I'd put it on the right side. There's something really stiff about the way the leg moves.

Sorry guys, I was really bussy working yesterday and then carring for Torreau & the other horses, this is the 1st time I've been able to get on here since posting this

I know that the video is rather dark, I'm sorry, it's would be better if I wasn't lunging & video-ing at the same time.

No one has guessed it dead on yet....so I thought I'd give ya another day! Some people are seeing the "tiny things" that are also there, but no one has guessed the Main area of discomfort

It kind of looks like Fibrotic Myopathy. I ride a horse who has that, and it's the same hind leg (not that it makes a difference). It doesn't hurt him at all, he just has a shorter stride with that leg.
