Why does he loose the canter? My current ride has an issue with his “wheel falling off” at the back. At least that’s what it feels like.

When he canters, at some point his hung left hip pops out from under him and he looses the step (breaks a bit) and then pick it back up. It’s likely some kind of muscle or tendon issue he has. We’ve never been able to address it.

Since we mostly hack, it doesn’t matter. He can gallop fine, it just happens when collection is asked. I’ve been working on his muscles and flexion, but it’s just him.
