Where exactly would you start looking on a horse that is not overtly lame but to the right seems off and holds the right hind leg parked out behind her/kind of on tiptoe. Would you expect stifle, SI or something else? Kind of wanting to get some opinions on where to start looking. Had hocks injected end of October, Teeth done a couple of weeks ago, and is regularly chiro'd. She often has her pelvis shifted.
Honestly I would just get a lameness exam from a vet and go from there! It's the best way to find out exactly what is wrong instead of wondering and trying a bunch of different things to figure it out. It could end up being something you hadn't even thought of! Good luck!! My horse was only a TINY bit off...I mean barely noticeable. He ended up having a torn suspensory so you never really know.
