Yes have a throughbred mare that paddles very bad, she has run well on the track usually in the money and has never been lame because of it. In 2012 she kicked in the stall at the track hind leg was a mess compression casts and the works. her left hind fetlock is still big with scarring , never thought she would be solid enough to race again. 2013 she raced all summer never took a lame step. So now I joke no one would ever claim her 2 bad legs bad teeth and is at least half crazy. Will start to leg her up for the track in march.

I have one...love him. We have had him since he was 2 and he is now 10 or 11. He is big boned and can really run if you let him but my son races on him and refuses to really let him go.

Yes, he did on on front right. He was my daughters horse, when she tried him he ran a tenth off an arena record. He was 17 and still wicked fast. We lost him to colic after owning him 2 years.

My mare paddles with both front feet, not horrible but she does. Shes 12 this year, I've won quite a bit with her, shes a 1D barrel horse/rodeo horse up here. Wouldn't trade her for anything!
