he’s bay, just like this :racehorse:

Actually. I have a few who live with me who do this and are sound. I have one who scratches one front leg w the other and then will sometimes leave them crossed. He’s very sound- owned by a veterinarian.

Yes, because he trips some and struggles with lead changes. Sometimes subtle observations can help solve the mystery or identify a problem before they have a full blown injury or lameness. I like being proactive as much as possible in my horse care.

I understand completely. I think you mentioned it earlier, and I forgot🤦‍♀️. The ones I referred to don’t have problems. I hope I didn’t come across as minimizing your concerns.

At the risk of being blunt - if you know he has clinical findings in the neck, don’t discount them and look under other rocks.

You have symptoms that overlap with those findings.

Neck issues are one of those things, impacts all horses differently and not always a correlation between severity and clinical symptoms, but typically progresses with age.

I would x-ray feet. Those hairlines look steep enough I’d suspect NPA or neutral palmer angle. That can cause sore heels (and sore hocks and sore backs).
