Thanks everyone! Vet appointment tomorrow and I have written down all the suggestions to run by my vet. She is excellent and worked on racehorses for 15 years so is pretty keen on lameness etc. At this point I am not going to take the super expensive route with bone scans , MRI etc.. Will do that later if needed. Thanks!

As I understand it, it is the inside front, outside hind that take the most stress.

Based on my experience, this makes sense to me. Have a gelding (now retired) who had issues turning the 1st barrel, but never the 2nd or 3rd. Found he had arthritis in the right knee and the left hock. I also suspect some possible SI issues but those might have come later. He's retired now, so it doesn't make any difference. But if he was still competing, those are the areas I would focus on with him.

Good luck.
