Can there be issues with a horse that its legs are set back under them a little to far on the front end?

think that's called sickle hocked... I had a filly that had that and at 3 years when we broke her she had arthritis developing in both hocks.  She could not do a slide stop- would start into it then hop out and also she would stop on her front end (dash board the heck out of me) because of it.

on the front end is what I was referring to. Sorry

 Sickle hicked is when they are too far underneath. Camped out is when they are out behind them. They can also be straight through the hocks. All 3 are faults that can lead to soundness issues. Short upright pasterns can also cause problems.

 Any deviation of correct conformation on the front or back end can cause issues.

Sorry, i had a pic but could not post. My friend was looking at a horse and this was an issue that I thought he had. I wasn't sure what issue this could cause.

I haven't dealt with it personally bit I would think it could definitely shorten the stride.
