Paddling- walks as if its muscular(less likely to cause problems= pigeon toed) Cross firing- bottom side of front with diagonal hind leg strikes. Scalping if front hoof hits right above back hoof. Speedy culting- if front hoof hits between fetlock and pastern. Associated with injury or illness: human made and difficult to remove. Aggressive (behavior issues) = biting, kicking, charging, striking, bucking: these are punishable- never can do it again, start young.
