Is this lameness?

The last couple days my mare has seemed...lame? At a walk and trot she's actually fine. She doesn't resist weight on the foot, she doesn't drag it, or swing it out. But at a lope she seems to miss her step with it, and she stays low... I need to get a video, it's hard to explain. And it only when the 'problem' foot is on the inside of a circle. Has anyone ever seen this? I plan to give her a couple days off and if there is no change I'll call the vet....but I would like to know what we could be getting into.

Thanks

Be careful working her in a round pen if she has just recovered from an injury. I have done that with my horse before and it set us back a week. All depends on your horse. Sometimes those circles can be hard on them.

And that is why I don't round pen my horse. They are really bad on every part of them, but so many people feel that it is needed.
