Re: Gait problems

.When the right back foot hits the ground it twists on the
>ground (as in turns slightly) before being picked up again.

My old horse Isaiah did this with both rear feet.  Looked as if he would
unscrew his shoes.  My farrier said he must have some Walking horse in
him.  He is 7/8 Arab.  I asked his breeder about the other 1/8.  Turns
out it's Walking horse!  He has no problem with shoes, has 1400 or so
miles on him with only one pull and never a lost time lameness or a
lameness vet bill!
