When a horse cross canters or drops a shoulder these may all be symptoms of a back or pelvic issue.
The change in canter is to avoid stress on the hip and sacroiliac. Dropping the shoulder is to aid your horse in lateral flexion ( bending). A subluxation in the low back or SI joint may be the cause. Having a equine chiropractor evaluate your horse will detect this problem. Your vet is not trained in biomehanics to this degree, so they will not spot the cause.
