And in Rocket's case, his legs are nearly perfect. The scars from the injury really changed his way of moving, though! Thank goodness we were able to work around it with time & persistence.
I've also seen straight legs with funny movement, but closer inspection showed that one leg was slightly shorter than the other... The horse's way of moving is so much more complex than I ever thought when I first started endurance. It definitely doesn't stop at the knee! The horses' way of moving was important in my hunter/jumpers, but not critical like it is in endurance!

As was said below, the problem and cause needs to be analyzed
carefully. If it's in the hoof it possible that it can be improved upon.
Crooked leg is a crooked leg.
