Thanks Leia, Kit only does his funny leg thing at the canter; and only on the off leg so I really can't see what exactly is happening. It looks like it is getting stuck, he swings it wide, stops and then starts again. He has always been very upright on his feet and hits his toes first up...

Thanks everyone. Kit's "pasture" is all slope - there is no level ground around here so guess that will help. He is very straight front and back; but I will tell the blacksmith next week to try to keep him straight and roll the toes behind. Stormy - Does the non-invasive procedure have to be...
