Why would a horse walk/stand with one hind foot directly in front of the other? She doesnt trot or canter that way. She doesnt act like shes in pain. She also drags her hind feet when she walks..maybe just lazy? She was rescued from starvation at 1 1/2 years old. she is now five. Could it be from the nutritional imbalance as she was growing?

Are her muscles underdeveloped?

Leslie, it may be her conformation leads her to do this. Looking at your profile I noticed your deworming program. You should look at our overview article as it explains good reasons to not use such a program.
