Many times you will have a horse that drags a toe, drops a hip and or has a short stride in the rear and front. A chiropractic evaluation will show that this horse may have a sacroiliac subluxation causing one side of the hip to flex and pull up on one rear leg causing that leg to act as though it is shorter than the other side. The other side is acting as a long leg thus draging the toe. Since the Sacroiliac joint on the short stride side is subluxated [locked up] then when you hear that short leg hit the ground it will be loader when it hits the ground. The toe on the short leg side will usually toe in. The front leg on the opposite side will also be short strided.
Having a chiropractic evaluation of your horse will determine if your horse needs adjustments and or muscle exercise work.
