Has anyone ever heard of a horse with a weak back leg? I went out on Sunday to look at a horse, and noticed than when he walked (only when he walked) it seemed like the leg "popped". And when he set his back foot down, it twisted a bit to the inside or outside and then straightened up. The lady's trainer said it was because he had a weak back leg (the right one), and it'll get better with excersize. Is that something that might cause the horse problems when he get's older? I'm nervous on even going out and looking at the horse more.
What do you think? I don't really want to pay the pre-buyers checkup if lots of people think a weak back leg is bad. Also I don't want to buy him and end up having problems with his back leg later on.
