I was riding with an arab gelding this past weekend who would occasionally 
wing/paddle only one front leg, but not all the time.


That's weird, I just got back from a ride with a young (4 yr old) Arab 
gelding who used his front feet really oddly.  We sort of picked him apart 
in the wash rack when we got back and he was shiney wet and really easy to 
look at.  He's  a pretty nicely made colt  with the exception of maybe 
having  a little too steep a shoulder.

Coming down hill at the walk, he sort of flipped his left front foot and his 
right front foot tracked "funny".  He sort of planted it out to the side 
with each step.  Although I have seen some endurance horses with very poor 
leg conformation, long term soundness for this pretty youngster concerns me.
