Came here to the comments to see if anyone else thought left hind like I did... But as I was watching I felt like I was REALLY looking for it. I didn't realize that "not lame" was a potential option when I went into the video. I felt like the left hind wasn't tracking as well as the right and neither were perfect, which I started to notice on the circle. It's subtle though. Subtle enough that it could be due to the sort of natural asymmetry all horses have? All horses turn better one way than the other. It's the same for humans, we have a dominant hand, foot, and eye. Is my left hand lame because I can't write with it? Maybe that's all we're seeing.
Back left stifle looks a little stiff. Sound for a jumper but not a high end dressage or hunter. More testing needed. A rider should collect the head and make the horse work through their back to see if the horse can carry themselves without loss of stride.
First time I've seen these videos which are very interesting and educational. However, in this video I disagree with the vet that this horse is tracking up from behind. My uneducated assessment is that he is NOT tracking up at all. His hind legs never come through further than the pelvis. Please respond

i was watching this thinking 'this horse isn't lame or am i just an idiot'
I noticed something wrong with the left rear leg as well.
Yeah he looked a little stiff in the left rear.
Completely sound. Lovely floating action, very nice horse.
Oh thank god this horse wasn’t lame I thought I was just being dumb lmao
Me too!

It might not be lame but it appears to me that shes a bit stiff on the back left?
I think, the left rear leg has problem and limps.
Me too!!
I agree with you, the left rear looks off to me too but I am new to this!
I'm no expert but I learn from experts and they say they rarely see a truly sound horse!
i think that rear left leg tracking is more due to a conformation trait than a lameness issue so i think thats why they said it was fine?
i saw it too !
keep your eye on the right rear.
I also noticed left rear leg
I see no lameness, but both stifles look stiff.
Thank you a lot
left hind
Sound
